The ex-Al Ahly coach has been linked with a return to the Betway Premiership since leaving the league a couple of years ago, and he's recently hinted about coaching the Bafana Bafana.

Kaizer Chiefs have been constantly linked with the South African coach even before they parted ways with Nasreddine Nabi this season.

Pitso shares how PSL coach humbled him

Mosimane opened up in a recent interview about how Lehlohonolo Seema humbled him during a visit to Siwelele United FC, where Seema, now the club’s coach, reminded both the players and the chairman that Mosimane had once paid for his coaching education.

Mosimane expressed pride in seeing his former player coaching in the Premier League, noting that such moments are more meaningful than winning trophies and that hearing his ex-players reflect on their shared experiences humbles him.

He has long supported former players through his Pitso Mosimane Soccer Schools (PMSS) program, which employs several retired players as coaches in different regions, demonstrating his commitment to life after football for those he has coached or played with.

A strong advocate for coaching education, Mosimane has covered the costs of numerous coaching courses over the years and continues to do so through his PMSS program.

The story behind Pitso being humbled by Seema gathered different opinions from social media users online.

Blazini KastroSol said:

"Languishing in the bottom of the league, Pitso must have paid for those underground colleges."

Macdonald Khoza wrote:

"That's jingles for me. Salute my African coach."

"Pitso dor tge bafana spot after Broos. I can’t prove that it will work out, but I know it will. He is by far the best coach we have ever produced, and we need to die by him. You can tell me about his past failures, but I’m sure you are not the same guy you were 15 years ago either."

TaSenzz SK_Ramochela shared:

"Mots'oeneng enoa oeso is so not celebrated enough in his country, and he's such an absolute icon man cumon."

J3:16 Skhomo23 reacted:

"Ultimately, that’s what life is about, not football wins, but human beings being humane and caring of each other “All for one and one for all”

Saint Trevor added:

"Seema is a humble soccer giant. First came across him in Parktown, I'm sure he was with that wardrobe giant, Mothibantwa. What a guy! He was greeting fans as if he knew them. Very respectful. I hardly hear Pirates fans talk about him as a legend. He was just a leader there."

Mosimane lands new role

Briefly News also reported that Mosimane landed another job at Nasreddine Nabi's old club, amid being linked with Kaizer Chiefs.

The South African tactician has been linked to several coaching jobs since leaving Esteghlal.
