Pitso Mosimane has officially been unveiled as the new head coach of Al Wahda FC, a prominent team in the United Arab Emirates Pro League.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Mosimane's recent departure from Al Ahli Saudi, his former club based in Saudi Arabia.
58-year-old Mosimane's new gig represents another prominent chapter in his illustrious coaching career.
"Al Wahda FC Company has signed with the South African Technical Director Pitso Mosimane to lead the first team as a Head Coach. The Club’s Board of Directors welcomes Mr Mosimane to the Home of Champion ; wishing him the success in serving the club’s leadership, administration and fans ambitions," the club stated on its official Twitter account.
Mosimane's representatives, MT Sports Marketing and Management, revealed to the South African media that the finer details of his move to Al Wahda will be revealed in due course.
Embarking on his tenure with Al Ahli in September 2022, Mosimane was faced with the challenge of reviving a team that languished in seventh place after five games.
However, his exceptional leadership and tactical prowess propelled the club to an incredible resurgence, ultimately securing their return to the Saudi Pro League with four games to spare.
Al Wahda, a team with a storied history that is based in Abu Dhabi, has a strong pedigree in the UAE Pro League, having clinched four titles in the past.
Regrettably, their last championship triumph came in the 2009/10 season, prompting a hunger for glory that Mosimane is eager to satiate.
The club's recent campaign concluded with a respectable third-place finish, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the prestigious Asian Champions League.
With Mosimane's arrival, Al Wahda aims to regain their prominence on the domestic and continental stages, fostering a renewed sense of ambition within the squad.
For Mosimane, Al Wahda marks his fifth managerial venture, adding another distinguished chapter to his illustrious career in which he has won 19 major trophies at his previous coaching gigs.
He has been in the dugout for SuperSport United, Mamelodi Sundowns as well as Al Ahly in Egypt and Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia.
