Ex-Kaizer Chiefs winger Tshabalala: Why I am not surprised with Mosimane's success at Al Ahly

AmaZulu attacker Siphiwe Tshabalala has hailed his former manager Pitso Mosimane as “football-obsessed” and backed him to reach even greater heights in his decorated coaching career.

This is after the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach clinched his second Caf Champions League winners medal with Al Ahly last Friday.

Tshabalala previously showered Mosimane with praise after the former Bafana Bafana boss' tongue-lashing was influential in the 36-year-old midfielder's inclusion in the 2010 World Cup squad.
