Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane has a dream of opening up a soccer school in Mzansi. The 56-year-old spoke about an academic football school similar to the rugby schools in South Africa instead of owning a club in future.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns coach said he is grateful to Al Ahly as they have allowed him to continue with his school programme back in SA. He wants the academic level of his future soccer school to be high enough that parents want their children to go there.
