The former Mamelodi Sundowns mentor rates the Bucs coach, Jose Riveiro, as a good manager, and made his reservations about Nasreddine Nabi known.
"Orlando Pirates has a very good coach, fantastic, on a roll, we should not disturb them," he said.
"Kaizer Chiefs, ok, Nabi is trying to do something, he's getting there. He's not really convincing, I guess he's trying his best."
The ex-Al Ahly manager then faced his former team, Sundowns, and admitted that they were doing good but aimed a slight sub at them for being a 'billionaire' club and getting who they want.
"The billionaires are good, they can always buy anybody, anything, and they can buy Pep [Guardiola] if they want. So they don't need help," he added.
"I'm happy that we have left them at a better place and look how they are doing. I'm proud to look back, you know when somebody says 'Ah there was a mess' and I had to sort it out? There's no mess I left there. I left trophies."
Reactions on Mosimane's comment on Chiefs, Pirates coaches
Williams said:
"The billionaires are good 💀💀💀💀 He knows with money, you get everything... and he also said anyone can coach Sundowns, which is true. He sees the work of Pirates coach but when it comes to Sundowns he says the truth, MONEY. Imagine a club having spend over R450m to buy players, what do you expect, worse playing for a league prize of R20m😩😩😩😩😩🥹🥹🥹 Mad business indeed... Pitso is right to call them billionaires."

"For Sundowns he didn't rate the coach, he rated the finances. 😂"
MaraDinho_10 reacted:
"Jingles himself wasn't convincing in his first 6 months at Downs, he knows that. The hype around Nabi killed him before he even started but at least now we know his level(not convincing)."
Nic_thwala commented:
"We'll forever be grateful for his contributions at Mamelodi Sundowns.. but i do not think we should attribute Sundowns success only to money .. also the human resources there is top 🔝 notch."
AyeeNdeM responded:
"Was Pitso convincing at Sundowns from his first season? It's totally unfair for Pitso to compare Pirates coach and Chiefs coach as the Pirates coach has been with the club for some time, Nabi hasn't even finished a season at chiefs!"
Eric Gum shared:
"Interesting that now Pitso mentions finances when it comes to Sundowns. Yet while he was the coach he would attach fiercely anyone mentioning the possibility of big budget assisting him in getting players. We live in interesting times."
