Ex-Al Ahly official blasts Pitso - 'He did not deserve to coach Al Ahly'

The 61-year-old may have delivered a golden era of silverware at Al Ahly, but the South African tactician still has high-ranking detractors in Cairo. Despite a trophy cabinet bulging from his 21-month stint with the Red Devils, former Managing Director of Sport Mohsen Saleh has launched a scathing attack on the coach's credentials and his eventual departure from the Egyptian giants.

The crisis meeting! Chiefs' technical team claim Amakhosi 'have been unlucky'

The Glamour Boys faithful are reeling in pain as Amakhosi struggle to rediscover the mid-season form that saw them get positive results.

The defeat has lowered the expectations of their fans, who anticipated a PSL title tilt.

Al-Ittihad admit to 'intensive negotiations' in pursuit of Mokwena

The Libyan heavyweights have confirmed that they are in the middle of a high-stakes pursuit to pry the 38-year-old away from MC Alger. Despite the South African tactician being currently employed in Algeria, the Tripoli-based side have identified him as the primary candidate to lead their ambitious sporting project following the departure of Khaled Ben Yahia.

Officials to blame? Kaizer Chiefs were denied a legit goal!

Amakhosi fans are frustrated following their team's poor run in the last five outings across all competitions. The Soweto giants are at risk of ending the season trophyless after falling short in the Carling Knockout, Nedbank Cup, and, most recently, CAF Confederation Cup. Their only hope is in the Premier Soccer League, where they are facing stiff competition from Orlando Pirates and defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
