Egyptian giants Al Ahly have confirmed that they have parted ways with Pitso Mosimane after 20 months at the helm.
Mosimane’s future hung in the balance after failing to clinch the Caf Champions League title won by Wydad Casablanca on home soil. Ahly lost the final 2-0 in Casablanca, Morocco.
It would have been a record-breaking third title on the trot.
“Al Ahly and Pitso Mosimane reached an agreement to part ways. Mahmoud El Khatib, the club’s president, held a meeting with Yassin Mansour, the chairman of Al Ahly Football Company, Hossam Ghaly, the club’s board member, and the Planning Committee members, to discuss Mosimane’s future with the club,” the club said in a statement.
“During the meeting, they all decided that he should continue his mission with Al Ahly as a result of the achievements he managed to accomplish during the previous period. However, during the meeting that was previously held, Mosimane requested to leave and that he is satisfied with the achievements he managed to accomplish with the club.”
The club added Mosimane’s decision was discussed and it was decided to approve his request to part ways with the club and to thank him for the achievements that he accomplished with the club.
