Despite his impressive run with Al Ahly, Mosimane hasn’t yet put pen to paper on a new contract as the two parties are yet to reach an agreement.
Pitso Mosimane’s current deal with Al Ahly ends by the end of the season. But both the club and the manager have previously stated that the negotiations for a new deal are heading in the right direction.

“Al Ahly officials told Mosimane that they fully trust him. And the new contract process should be over before South Africa trip.” Confirmed Shobeir ahead of team’s travel to South Africa for their CAF Champions League return leg clash against Mamelodi Sundowns.
“Mosimane was happy about it. And the new contract will be signed soon.” He added.
Whatever the case, Pitso Mosimane has proved his worth as head coach on several occasions. The South African tactician led the Reds to win several major titles including home league title.
Since his arrival in October 2020, Mosimane has also won two back-to-back CAF Champions League titles and two consecutive CAF Super Cups. Mosimane thus helped dominate continental football in the process.
The 57-year-old coach had also led the African champions to two Club World Cup third-place finishes in 2021 and 2022.
Al Ahly will host Sudanese side Al-Merrikh on Saturday, 5 March at 19:00 GMT in a delayed CAF Champions League clash before facing Egyptian Premier League rivals Pyramids on Tuesday, 8 March (18:00 GMT).
