Egypt legend Ahmed Hossam Mido has hailed Pitso Mosimane’s contract extension with Al Ahly, saying the coaches’ new deal was worth more than any trophy.
Mosimane put pen to paper on a new two-year deal after his side’s 3-0 win over Pyramids in the Egyptian Premier League.
The 39-year-old, who famously also played for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, recently showered Mosimane with praise, saying he’s a better coach than Al Ahly legend Manuel Jose.
“In my opinion, Mosimane is a better head coach than Manuel José,” Mido said, as per Kingfut.
“If José had the same players Mosimane has, he couldn’t have made as many achievements.
“Manuel José is a great coach, but he had the tools and the players who helped him a lot.
“However, José had a more firm personality which was his major strong point.”
Mido has now reiterated his praise for the South African tactician, saying Mosimane’s new deal should be celebrated like a major trophy by the Club of the Century.
“Al Ahly renewing Mosimane’s contract is more important than any other trophy right now,” he added.
“Mosimane’s contract renewal with Al Ahly is a major trophy in itself.”
Mosimane and his team will return to action on Saturday when they will take on ‘Jingles’ former side Mamelodi Sundowns in the CAF Champions League.
