Pitso Mosimane’s wife and agent, Moira Tlhagala, has responded to speculation around ‘Jingles’ future after a meeting with Al Ahly’s leadership.
Al Ahly had publicly announced they would have a meeting with Mosimane to “discuss some points regarding the first team’s preparations for the upcoming period”.
The meeting was held via Zoom, with Mosimane currently in Morocco to complete his CAF Pro License, but the club announced there would be a follow-up meeting on Friday when the coach returns to Cairo, which has seemingly sent Egyptian media in a frenzy.
Tlhagala now insisted Mosimane’s team are not worried about the meeting, even though it’s unconventional for the club to announce it publicly.
“It is a normal practice that the club will have a meeting with a coach. I must say it’s the first time for us to see a club publicizing the meeting with Pitso Mosimane,” she told Newzroom Afrika in quotes cited by MT Sports social account.
“We are not concerned about anything regarding the meeting. The coach has played 94 games with Al Ahly and has been undefeated in 88% of the games. The coach and his technical team have done well.
“The contract extension was signed and is in effect. The club confirmed on their website and we also announced this in March this year.
“Our relationship with the club is not hostile, they respects the coach and we are humbled that they have given him an opportunity to manage a team of this magnitude.”
“But what I have seen is there is constant negativity, but not from all Al Ahly supporters and media. It is normal that not everyone likes what you do but for us the concern is the narrative that tries to push the Coach as someone who is useless at what he does.”
“For us we are saying that the numbers speak for themselves. He has done incredibly in the last 20 months. Pitso Mosimane has only lost 9 games. The results speak for themselves.”
