Pitso Mosimane to be appointed Nigeria coach? Ex-Mamelodi Sundowns coach confirms contact from West Africa amid vacant Super Eagles job

Africa Cup of Nations Qualification

Nigeria

Libya

Former Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane has reiterated that he is looking into taking up a national team job while revealing he has received calls from two West African teams.His remarks come as he is currently unattached coincidentally when Nigeria are also searching for a coach.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“The World Cup I’ve done with a country was once,” Mosimane told <a href="https://x.com/SABC_Sport/status/1836039593579180391" target="_blank">SABC Sport.</a>“So maybe with the national team, I must say that interests me more [than with a club]. And also national team, doesn’t mean [just] anyone. A National team that you think you can go to the semi-final.“And when you go to the semi-final, go to the final and when you’re in the final, you might as well win it," added the former Bafana Bafana coach.“Unless it’s a club again where we need to play more in space. Saudi will always be there also, Qatar will always be there.“We had calls with even West African countries, two! And ones I said, ‘yeah, these are the ones’. But things are done differently in those spaces," he continued.“You asked yourself what happened, there’s a space, the call comes back… It’s not easy to [understand], when there is space for the ministry and also space for the football federation.“There are always clashes somewhere there, the ministry because they pay for the coach, they want this coach, the football federation want that coach. Hopefully, we’ll get one that goes together.”

WHAT MOSIMANE SAID

Mosimane has already expressed concern about the conflict between governments and football federations in West Africa, something common in the Nigerian game.The chaos in the West African country's football played itself recently when the Nigeria Football Federation <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/former-bayer-leverkusen-mentor-bruno-labbadia-rejects-offer-to-become-next-nigeria-coach-despite-nff-confirming-his-appointment-report/blte4d0dc91ec556e63" target="_blank">officially appointed Bruno Labbadia only for the German to reject taking up the job.</a>Three coaches have taken charge of the Super Eagles this year and this is an environment Mosimane might not want to find himself in. Augustine Eguavoen recently served as Nigeria's coach in an interim basis.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

What could, however, entice Mosimane to accept the Nigeria job if approached is the heavyweight status of the Super Eagles who were Africa Cup of Nations runners-up in February.They have graced the Fifa World Cup finals on six occasions and the South African trainer dreams of coaching at that stage.
