Pitso bags his first win at Abha FC
Pitso Mosimane has bagged his first win as the head coach of Abha Football Club. This came after the veteran coach announced in January 2024 that he was appointed as the new head coach of the Saudi Arabia Pro League Team.
Despite that Kaizer Chiefs also showed interest in appointing him as their head coach, Jingles also shared during an interview that he was interested in leading Nigeria's national team, the Super eagles.
MT Sports Marketing and Management shared with Briefly News that Pitso Mosimane said he was happy that he will be returning to Saudi Arabia again.
He said:
"I am pleased to return to Saudi Arabia, where an exciting challenge awaits me. Abha Club's rapid ascent to the Saudi Pro League, considering their participation in the 3rd division just four seasons ago, is remarkable. As the club confronts its most formidable challenge to date, I feel honored that the board has entrusted me with this responsibility."
The Director of MT Sports Marketing and Management, Moira Tlhagale, also shared with the publication:
"We are confident that our coaches will work hard to ensure that the Leaders of the South defend their place in the Pro League. Coach Pitso and his team's brands of excellence and deliverance of results will shine through."

Chiefs must spend money to sign Mosimane: Baloyi
In a Mosimane-related article, Briefly News reported that former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brian Baloyi encouraged Kaizer Chiefs to break the bank to secure Pitso Mosimane's signature.
This was after Mosimane's contract with Al Wahda ended, and speculation was rife that Mosimane might return to Africa. South Africans discouraged him from coaching Amakhosi because they believed he would clash with management, especially Bobby Motaung.
