Ex-Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane on the brink of leaving Esteghlal FC after poor run of form

Pitso Mosimane has been struggling in his job as Esteghlal coach in the Persian Gulf League.

His team has now gone on a six-match winless run that includes five draws and a defeat.

That has seen rumours surfacing that Mosimane is on the brink of quitting Esteghlal.

An Esteghlal media officer was quoted by Soccer Laduma as saying, "both parties will cooperate in this matter" when contacted for comment.

Mosimane hasn't enjoyed success in his last three coaching jobs and that could taint his image going forward as he looks for bigger opportunities.

Since helping Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli to promotion from the second tier, Mosimane has struggled for honours.

Stints at Emirati side Al Wahda and Abha have not been the best for Mosimane who is now not in an ideal space in Iran.

With rumours swelling that Mosimane could leave Esteghlal, it remains to be seen if he will be in charge when they host Esteghlal Khuzestan on Thursday.

It could be a defining match that could decide Mosimane's future.
