The iconic Egyptian team recently represented Africa at the FIFA Club World Cup tournament in Qatar.
Mosimane revealed that he had been eyeing the title when he arrived in the country and that people had thought this was a crazy ambition.
Nevertheless, Mosimane pointed out that 'everything is possible' when it comes to football, adamant that Al Ahly would have reached the finals if it had drawn against any team except Bayern Munich.
The coach is determined that, with time, he will be able to develop the team into a powerhouse:
“It took Klopp five years at Liverpool to succeed, and Guardiola took four years, and if two great coaches like them need time, I definitely need it too. I have been here for only four or five months. I have the full support of the board, especially Mahmoud El-Khatib."
In the meantime, Mosimane says that he needs to bring in more players, admitting that the team failed to score enough goalrs during the tournament:
“We need to bring in more players. We did not score enough goals in the Club World Cup, so we need to strengthen the attacking area. Goals are the most important thing in football. We want to return to the Club World Cup, and this will only be achieved by winning the CAF Champions League."
The team are the first African team to secure two medals at the FIFA Club World Cup and the second non-European/ South American team.
