Mosimane, was appointed by the club in September last year and guided Ahli to gaining promotion back to the Saudi Pro League and clinching the Yelo League title.
In a statement, Mosimane said: “As we end out relationship with Al Ahli F.C Saudi and look forward to new opportunities, I would like to express my utmost satisfaction for having achieved the difficult task of promoting the team back to the Saudi Pro League.
“Within eight months, we not only secured promotion but also claimed the championship title in the 1st Division League.
“We would have never achieved this feat without the players who continuously played their hearts out, the technical team and the staff that supported me and the players throughout.
“And finally, thanks to the underlying support from the Al Ahli supporters, your support in the stands at home and away games was the best motivator. I wish the team continuous support in its future endeavors.”
