Mosimane returns to Al Ahly's training ground with a warm welcome - Photos

The official Facebook page of Al Ahly SC shared photos of a visit from former South African coach Pitso Mosimane, who currently manages the South African national team. He was invited by Sayed Abdel Hafiz, a member of Al Ahly's board, to visit the club while he was in Cairo.

Abdel Hafiz Welcomes Mosimane

Sayed Abdel Hafiz made sure to welcome Mosimane at Al Ahly alongside board member Tarek Qandil. The South African coach, who led Al Ahly to CAF Champions League titles in 2020 and 2021, toured the club's facilities to a warm reception from everyone at the Red Castle.

Abdel Hafiz presented Mosimane with an Al Ahly jersey, while the South African coach gifted a national team jersey to the Al Ahly board member.

Mosimane is currently in Cairo on assignment with the South African national team to face Egypt in a friendly match next Sunday at Cairo Stadium, following the South African team's 5-0 victory over Eritrea last Wednesday at Al Salam Stadium in the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifiers.
