ZAMALEK sporting director Amir Mortada Mansour has claimed that Pitso Mosimane's agent approached them about their coaching job.

Zamalek recently appointed Jesualdo Ferreira as their new coach. However, there have been reports recently suggesting that Al Ahly could opt to part ways with Mosimane due to their struggles for consistenc­y in the Egyptian Premier League, the one trophy that has eluded the South African since he took charge of the Egyptian club in 2020.

“Mosimane's agent approached us through a middleman, she said there are problems with Al Ahly and as an agent she was looking for potential jobs for Mosimane,” Amir told ONTime Sports.

Moira Tlhagale is Mosimane's wife and agent.

Mosimane is currently under pressure, but can potentiall­y save his job by winning the Egyptian Premier League and Champions League this season. His team are third in the league and trail league leaders Zamalek by eight points, with four games in hand.
