Renowned coach Pitso Mosimane is on the verge of a significant windfall, securing a hefty compensation of R22 million following his legal pursuit against former Middle East football club, Al Ahli Jeddah. The FIFA tribunal ruled in favor of Mosimane, citing unfair dismissal and awarding him the substantial amount, inclusive of bonuses and outstanding salaries spanning five months.
Putting the Club on the Map
Mosimane, who commenced his tenure with Al Ahli on 24th September 2022, signed a contract slated to extend until 2023, with an option for renewal.
