Pitso Mosimane has resigned from his role as coach of Mamelodi Sundowns to join an "International team" believed to be Egyptian giants, Al Ahly.
Mosimane, who recently renewed his contract with Sundowns in May with four years, led the club to a treble during the 2019/2020 season. In his eight years at the chlookop based-club, Mosimane won 11 trophies, including the Caf Champions League in 2016.
In a statement he released today following an exclusive story on his Sundowns exit by Timeslive, Mosimane said he wanted a new challenge.
"I am taking up this new challenge that will push me out of my comfort zone. I know Sundowns will use this as a fresh and new perspective," he said.
"While I had four year remaining in my contract, this offer is a huge opportunity for me that would not have come had I not had the privilege to be part of the team that led Mamelodi Sundowns in winning the Caf Champions League and reaching the Club World Cup Finals."
According to reports in Egypt, the Soweto-born mentor, has requested to bring three members of the technical team.
Mosimane is believed to have signed a two-year deal worth over R50 million a year. His first task would be to lead the ' African Club of the Century' later this month against a familiar foe, Wydad Atletic Club, in a two-legged Caf Champions League semi-final.
