Former Al Ahly forward Osama Hosny is the latest club legend to point out Pitso Mosimane’s shortcomings.
The South African tactician has often been subject of a lot of criticism from Ahly legends, despite his undeniable success with the Red Devils.
Mosimane proved he was one of the best coaches in Africa when he led Ahly to numerous titles, including two CAF Champions League titles.
PITSO MOSIMANE SUBJECT OF CRITICISM
He has since left the Egyptian giants for a new challenge in the Middle East where he is on the brink if winning the Saudi First Division with Al-Ahli.
His successor at Ahly, Marcel Koller, has also done a good job, guiding Ahly to the Egyptian Cup and Super Cup, beating Pyramids on both occasions.
Koller has also turned Ahly’s fortunes around in the Egyptian Premier League where they look like favorites to go all the way.
They are also in the semi-finals of the Champions League and will Esperance Tunis in the first leg on Friday at the Cairo International Stadium.
Koller’s success with Ahly seems to have brought about comparisons with Mosimane’s trophy-laden spell with the Egytian giants.
Another Ahly legend, Hosny, has identified an area he believes Koller has improved Ahly, adding it’s an area Mosimane struggled.
“Koller did a brilliant job in preparing all the players, unlike the period of Pitso Mosimane,” Hosny said, as quoted by KingFut.
WHERE MARCEL KOLLER HAS IMPROVED AHLY
“Although the South African is a good coach, he did not prepare the substitutes.
“Now we no longer feel the absence of any player in the presence of distinguished players, and the Swiss coach had a clear vision at the beginning of the season after learning of the dense schedule locally and continentally.
“Al Ahly’s choice of Koller was successful, and the decision they took at the end of last season to rest the players was good.
“Koller was successful in choosing the best formation for the Pyramids match in the Super Cup, and he also has a distinguished substitutes bench.
“This appeared through the participation of Hussein El-Shahat, Kahraba, and Khaled Abdelfattah. He prepared well for the game.”
