South African-born coach Pitso Mosimane is getting the recognition he deserves after he was named the Saudi Arabia first division February Coach of the Month on Tuesday.
Mosimane has been emphatic since taking over at Al Ahli Saudi in September 2022, picking up 12 wins, six draws and two defeats.
Despite beginning the month of February on a backfoot, when his side was dismantled 4-1 in their backyard by Al Akhdoud, Mosimane and his charges redeemed themselves in style by producing three consecutive victories.
Ahli are currently occupying second position on the log with 52 points, one point behind leaders Al Hazem, who climbed back to the top spot after Ahli dropped points last week.
COACH OF THE MONTH!🫡🇿🇦
Congratulations Coach @TheRealPitso!
You are truly #ChangingTheGame! #WeAreLegacyMakers https://t.co/M9gZvoKuuD— MTSports (@MTSports10) March 21, 2023
With only nine games to go, Mosimane and his charges will be on a mission to win their remaining fixtures and hope that Hazem drop points in their quest to secure promotion to the Saudi Pro League.
