Kaizer Chiefs-linked Pitso Mosimane keen to coach in the Africa Cup of Nations and Fifa World Cup finals

Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane is adamant that he and his entourage consisting of technical team members Kabelo Rangoaga and Musi Matlaba, just to name a few, can land new employment as soon as next week. However, 'Jingles' says he and his team are not looking for work at this point after departing from United Arab Emirates side Al Wahda last month.

WHAT HAPPENED

Mosimane, however, has been linked with the Chiefs coaching job where his former righthand man at Al Ahly, Cavin Johnson, is holding the fort. Mosimane has effectively distanced himself from Naturena as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/cavin-johnson-good-enough-to-be-kaizer-chiefs-permanent-head-coach-pitso-mosimane-backs-his-former-assistant/blt2641adc63f81f0af" target="_blank">he gave Johnson his vote of confidence to get the top job at Chiefs</a>.Meanwhile, Mosimane has revealed that he has a huge appetite to return to international football with a national team. 'Jingles' was at the helm of Bafana Bafana between 2010 and 2012 and he is now looking at the possibility of coaching in the Africa Cup of Nations and in the World Cup finals. Nigeria are currently struggling in the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"We need to know what the team is like, what do they expect from you, and what is the vision. The vision of the team is important. It's not about me sending my CV to clubs. Mosimane said at a press conference organized by the South African Football Journalists' Association."When it comes to national teams, I don’t have a problem to be back in the continent. But, club-wise in the continent, it is not going to be that easy. To be honest, the one thing I would like to win is the Cup of Nations or go to a World Cup with a team."I speak to (Senegal coach Aliou Cisse) and (Morocco coach Walid Regragui) who messaged me when I left Al Wahda, he said: 'Coach, come (to the national team fold). We need to see you at the World Cup. You, me and Cisse. The African boys should be at the World Cup. And with nine spaces at the World Cup, there's no way that you can't be a part of that.' I said we will see," he added.

WHAT WAS SAID

"To be honest, I still want to do the national team. I don't choose what comes. But if you say am I interested, I am highly interested. I would like to go to the World Cup and lead a team there. Africa has nine teams guys, really! I think that South Africa will qualify," said Mosimane.&nbsp;"I want South Africa to qualify because I am South African, but, in reality, Nigeria has the team. But football is not about what is on paper, it is what you can do. "This is an open group this one. I would like to go to the national team, why not. But it must be a national team where we can compete in the World Cup and not embarrass ourselves," he added.

AND WHAT MORE

While Mosimane's services are in high demand, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/who-said-kaizer-chiefs-need-pitso-there-are-better-coaches-than-him-and-mosimane-doesn-t-like-amakhosi-fans/blta62e12b0e4a71456" target="_blank">some supporters have suggested that he should stay away from Chiefs</a>, even though he boasts of a strong profile, having won the Caf Champions League three times and multiple PSL titles. 'Jingles' has also appeared in the Fifa Club World Cup three times.
