“I feel sad because I parted ways with Percy Tau at Al Ahly. But I left him at a big club.” Mosimane told City Press.

“Tau did not have problems at Brighton. But their manager Graham Potter did not play him. And therefore, people had doubts about him before he came to Al Ahly.

“I told Tau that he still has the opportunity to play in the Spanish, Italian, French and German leagues. And if he still wants to be there, then he must continue. But if he doesn’t, he will at least come with me to the Club World Cup at Al Ahly.“Everyone says that I ruined Tau’s career after he left England and joined Al Ahly. But he’s smart and takes good care of himself.

“Of course, I wouldn’t advise Tau to join Al Ahly the same way if I wasn’t their head coach. But he did not join Al Ahly for less money than he was getting in Brighton.” He added.
