International Footballer Hits Back at Pitso Mosimane for Relationship at Al-Ahly

• South African coach Pitso Mosimane was criticised by Egyptian striker Mahmoud Kahraba for their rocky relationship at Egyptian giants Al Ahly
• Mosimane coached Al Ahly from 2020 to 2022, where he won six major titles, but he failed to make a positive impression on Egyptian national striker Kahraba
• Local football fans reacted on social media by defending Mosimane, saying Kahraba's claims have no grounds

Egyptian striker Mahmoud Kahraba said former coach Pitso Mosimane mistreated him at the Egyptian giants Al-Ahly.

The South African coach was in charge of Al-Ahly from 2020 to 2022, and Kahraba said he did not have a good relationship with the former Mamelodi Sundowns mentor.

According to Kahraba, Mosimane continued to deny him playing opportunities despite the player enjoying a rich vein of form, and he was glad to see the South African leave the club.

Kahraba speaks about Mosimane in the tweet below:

According to Goal.com, Kahraba said he did not enjoy playing under Mosimane and endured a complicated relationship, much like former teammate Percy Tau and Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller.

Kahraba said:

"Mosimane treated me unjustly; even in the division, I scored goals, but he insisted on not drawing attention to me. I am a player who relies on participating in matches to improve my physical fitness, not just physical training that might cause me to get injured."

Mosimane suffered defeat in Iran, according to the tweet below:

While Kahraba continues to play for Al-Ahly, Mosimane has since left the club and is currently the head coach at Iranian side Esteghlal FC.

Since taking over at the Iranian side, Mosimane has endured an indifferent campaign filled with more draws than victories and defeats.
