Pitso Mosimane's wife, Moira Tlhagale, who doubled up as his agent has explained issues between the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach and Esteghlal during his time in the Iranian league.

The 60-year-old was without a coaching job for months before taking up a managerial role at Esteghlal late last year.

"I honestly don’t know," Tlhagale shared with iDiski Times.
"You think everything is going fine, the coach is focused on the job, and then one day you wake up to a series of stories about unpaid wages. At some point, we all agreed that we couldn’t continue like this.
"And that’s how things unfolded. As for why it happened, if anyone has an answer, I’d really appreciate knowing why something like this would occur."

The South African tactician's agent also added that she's not giving up on getting all the money Esteghlal owe his husband and his technical crew.

"From a FIFA procedure perspective, there are specific steps we need to follow," the agent added.
"The rule is clear: once a contract is terminated, we must request the payment of all outstanding fees, or else we take the matter to FIFA. We are in the process of filing a claim with FIFA now."
