After winning 11 trophies with Mamelodi Sundowns, Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane has called a number of players he has worked with, saying they are the best.
On top of the list are players such as Keagan Dolly and Khama Billiat as well as campaigners such as Themba Zwane, Hlompho Kekana and Anthony Laffor.
These are the players who formed an incredible line-up at Chloorkop when the Brazilians clinched the CAF Champions League in 2016.
Mosimane is credited to have changed the club’s fortunes, especially considering the fact that European coaches such as Hristo Stoichkov and Johan Neeskens are among the few who failed to secure trophies at Sundowns.

During his stay at the reigning Nedbank Cup champions, ‘Jingles’ helped to establish the famous ‘CBD’ which consisted of Leonardo Castro, Billiat and Dolly who terrorised Premier Soccer League defenders.
Apart from bagging the continental trophy beating Zamalek in a two-legged final in 2016, Mosimane has also tasted CAF Super Cup glory as well as leading the Tshwane giants to the FIFA Club World Cup.
