The manager has expressed his desire to keep the team in the Saudi Pro League. About his goal, Pitso said:
'It’s going to be a bumpy ride. Abha is one of the league’s ‘small’ teams. But there’s ambition, there’s a bit of experience. We need to try to do things a little differently. If we can save them from relegation, there’s an opportunity to make them much better. It’s an adventure, and I like adventures.'

Al Wahda FC
Before Pitso joined Abha FC, he spent three months looking for his next job as a manager following his exit from Al Wahda FC. He joined the team in June 2023 and left in November 2023, along with his technical team. A statement from his agency read:
'Coach Pitso Mosimane would like to thank the Al Wahda Football Club, the Board, players, staff, and supporters for their warm welcome and support since joining the club earlier this year, and wish them well for the remainder of the season and future endeavours.'
Al Ahly FC
Pitso was with Al Ahly FC between September 2020 and September 2022.
