Chiefs to push for Pitso before Christmas?

“We need to know what’s the team like, what do they want, what do they expect us to do and what’s the vision. Then we start to say, ‘Ok, that’s interesting. It’s a good project.’ The vision of the team, also, is important. It’s not about me sending my CV to clubs and all that. Yes, I’m not boasting, we can get employed next week, if we want. It’s not all about that. I also just want to spend Christmas at home. Let me see my children, have Christmas, let me have food at home. When I’m back from my holiday, just before Christmas, eight to 10 days,

I just don’t want to disturb that space of eight to 10 days before Christmas, and Christmas to New Year’s Eve. I think the best time for to really, really go back to work is maybe after that space, when I’ve seen my family. My children are all around, schools are closed. To move now, it must be a very, very big emergency. It must be worth that I must cancel the holiday with my children and spend Christmas away from home.” These are the words of Pitso Mosimane, speaking to the South African Football Journalists Association (SAFJA) in his first interview since leaving Al Wahda. Undoubtedly one of the best in the business, the coach has set a marker, effectively his next move, which is only likely to be in 2024. As per the above comment, a likely return to a local club prior to that would only be if “there was a serious emergency”. What does the future hold for the former Bafana Bafana mentor in South Africa and would Kaizer Chiefs’ emergency, that of a need for a permanent coach, warrant an immediate response from the man affectionately known as ‘Jingles’?
