Pitso Mosimane, who has managed major African clubs like Sundowns and Al Ahly, has denied rumors linking him to the Orlando Pirates head coach position.
The highly successful Orlando Pirates head coach, Jose Riveiro, is expected to leave the team at the end of the season.
Due to this, many potential head coach candidates, including Jose Riveiro, are being speculated as his successor. However, Riveiro has denied these rumors, stating,
“I’ve seen it [speculation]. Nobody has spoken to me. So, we can’t be talking about nothing.”
Currently, Pitso Mosimane is working on his Youth Football Project, focusing on developing new talents and laying the foundation for long-term impact.
“We will see. At the moment this badge means a lot to me, more than any other badge,” he said.
Mosimane continued,
“I’m home, yes, but it depends. It must be the right project, it must be the right time,” and added, “Let me build this legacy, because once I stop coaching people will forget about the trophies.”
Despite not being involved in top-tier club coaching at the moment, Mosimane is still active.
“Look how busy I am, today I’m here, [and] I’m going to another school. I was launching one in Rustenburg three days back, I’m so busy, it’s not funny,” he mentioned.
“I’m not even seeing the vacancy of not being on the pitch. I’m on the pitch with the coaches, I’m watching them, are they doing the right thing?” he said.
Mosimane also shared how busy he is with his day-to-day activities:
“It’s hectic. I’m every day at the office, I’m every day at the pitches, every day at the schools, every day at the government offices, so I can’t ask for more. I’m blessed, thank you.”
