Pitso Mosimane offers ex-Kaizer Chiefs striker Katlego Mphela coaching assistance

In 2019, Mphela announced his retirement from football, having had stints with prominent South African clubs such as SuperSport United, Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs, and Royal Eagles.&nbsp;While he commenced his career with Jomo Cosmos, he later ventured to French side Strasbourg in 2004 before making a return to the Premier Soccer League in 2006. Presently, Mphela has immersed himself in the car sales industry, aiming to support his family.

WHAT HAPPENED

“I’m happy that he’s got a career beyond football. I hear that he’s into sales now in the motor industry,” said Mosimane in a post on <a href="https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/local-news/pitso-sends-message-to-former-downs-chiefs-star/" target="_blank">iDiski Times</a>.“Brilliant, brilliant idea. He can move forward, he’s got a name and also he still loves football, I know. He can do part-time coaching, follow his passion. “Hopefully he’ll help us at the Pitso Mosimane Soccer Schools, during his part-time and he must go for soccer badges, coaching qualifications, he’s clever, he knows what to do."

WHAT MOSIMANE SAID

Mosimane offers to guide Mphela, “He will come up like all those coaches, who are coaching like Morgan Gould, Dillon Sheppard, all those coaches who were part of football. He was part of football, but let him follow what he’s doing right now so that he can support his family and himself.“With time, slowly, he must join the coaching qualifications and if he has trouble with that, I’m there to support him – he knows that he can just give me a call and we speak to Walter Steenbok, then he gets qualified like all these coaches, why not?,” he added.“Then he can have a career on the business side and the football side. A very good step that he has taken, he’s moved in the right direction and that’s what we want out of our ex-players.“All the best Killer!”

AND WHAT MORE…

Faced with a promising offer from one of the continent's most accomplished coaches, Mphela would undoubtedly be eager to seize this opportunity.&nbsp; If he decides to accept the offer, we may witness Mphela following in the footsteps of Mamelodi Sundowns coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/rhulani-mokwena-the-cloth-make-up-of-the-mamelodi-sundowns-coach-post-african-football-league-success/blt7cf609cc73359932" target="_blank">Rhulani Mokwena</a>, who has had the privilege of learning from ‘Jingles’.
