Pitso Mosimane

Pitso John Hamilton Mosimane (born 26 July 1964) is a South African former professional football player and current coach.

He won the 2016 CAF Champions League with Mamelodi Sundowns after defeating Egypt's Zamalek 3–1 on aggregate,[5] making them the 2nd South African side to win it after Orlando Pirates in 1995.

[7] On 6 April 2019, Mosimane led his team Mamelodi Sundowns to a 5–0 win against Egyptian club Al Ahly in the 2018–19 CAF Champions League quarter-finals,[8] in which he won 5–1 on aggregate to reach the semi-finals.

Mosimane is generally regarded as the most successful manager in South African football history, winning five ABSA Premiership titles with Mamelodi Sundowns.

[12] On 27 November 2020, Mosimane led Al Ahly to their 9th CAF Champions league title, after winning the 2020 final against their rivals Zamalek,[13] and to qualify to the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup,[14] where they eventually finished in third place after beating Palmeiras on penalties.

[16] On 17 July 2021, Al Ahly won their second CAF Champions league title under Mosimane and their 10th in total after a 3–0 win over Kaizer Chiefs in the final.

[17] Rory Smith argued that this eight-month tenure, in which Al Ahly won three trophies, made Mosimane one of the best managers in world football for the year.
