Pitso Mosimane says the Al Ahly job is like coaching La Liga giants Real Madrid or Barcelona and feels that he is in Egypt to open the pathway for his former assistant Rhulani Mokwena to work in Europe.
Mosimane got to a flying start in his new role at the Cairo giants when he guided them to a 1-0 victory over Al Mokawloon on Sunday after only being appointed as coach three days earlier.
Being in his first coaching job outside South Africa and becoming the first sub-Saharan tactician to coach Al Ahly, Mosimane feels that he has opened doors for other local coaches to surpass him by landing contracts in Europe.
