Pitso Mosimane discussing with Kaizer Chiefs? Coach's agent confirms talks with 'other teams' as Abha Club contract nears end

Moira Tlhagale, the agent of Pitso Mosimane, has revealed they have opened talks with other teams as they look to secure the coach's future.The 59-year-old was brought in to save Abha from relegation but even if he achieves that feat, he may not be on their bench next season. This comes amid rumours that Kaizer Chiefs are interested in Mosimane to turn their fortunes around and put them back on top of local football after a nine year trophy drought.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“Because we know we only have four months at Abha, I have already started talking to other teams, which I cannot tell you now, but we are just starting to build opportunities if Abha does not work,” Tlhagale said as per <a href="https://sundayworld.co.za/sports/soccer/discussions-about-pitso-mosimanes-next-destination-under-way/" target="_blank">Sunday World.</a> “They wanted to make it an 18-month contract, but for us, it was just that. From my side in the negotiations, we were not happy with next year’s amount, understanding what the market is about. “So, we then agreed that we’ll help them for the next four months, and if there is interest and the coach saves them [from relegation], and we agree on the negotiations of the second part [of the deal], yes. If we don’t agree, then he moves on to other opportunities."“If mutually we agree, yes, there is an opportunity [to continue as Abha coach], and we have left that door open,” she said.

WHAT TLHAGALE SAID

Of concern for Chiefs fans is that Mosimane has expressed a strong interest in remaining in Saudi Arabia.“The coach was very clear that he wants to be with the big boys in Saudi Arabia," Tlhagale said.“I mean, I think we all know that the Saudi league has now grown, it’s got big, big players that they’ve brought in.“I saw in one of their recent matches, one of the articles had something like ‘coach Pitso’s team of whatever million dollars was playing against a team of whatever billion dollars’."“So, yeah, he is quite excited to be in that space," she concluded."They are a very difficult team, and it was very brave of them to take a team that’s in the relegation zone with the intention to help save their status.”

AND WHAT MORE?

Chiefs are being linked with a number of big-name coaches whose reputations sell them as ideal to improve the club's fortunes.Besides Mosimane, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/why-former-brazil-and-real-madrid-coach-can-restore-kaizer-chiefs-glory-days-da-silva-explains/bltd68f346014dbef9d" target="_blank">former Real Madrid and Brazil coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo's name has been mentioned</a> as a possible coach to take over at Naturena.Ex-Nigeria coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/psl-transfer-news-latest-rumours-from-kaizer-chiefs-orlando-pirates-mamelodi-sundowns-and-all-psl-teams/blt7abceaf4eeb183c9#cs51c6aff28b908735" target="_blank">Jose Peseiro is also reported to have submitted his CV </a>for the Soweto giants job.
