Pitso Mosimane reported new salary at Al Ahly dwarfs Mamelodi Sundowns deal

Mosimane has resigned from Sundowns and is set to become the first black African or non-Egyptian coach to lead the eight-time continental champions.

Reports have emerged that Ahly may have tabled an offer in the region of USD 120 000 (around R2-million) per month for the services of the former Bafana Bafana coach.

This would easily double the Soweto-born coach's current Sundowns salary, which was believed to be in the region of R800 000 and R1-million per month, including win bonuses, when he penned a new four-year deal back in May.

However, snl24.com/kickoff has now learnt from an impeccable source that the new salary payment set to bolster Mosimane's bank account could actually be closer to USD 270 000 (R4.5-million) per month, excluding win bonuses.

Sources in Egypt have indicated that Ahly would certainly not be offering Mosimane anything less than USD 100 000, with the staggering USD 270 000 offer significantly more than former coach Rene Weiler was earning, which was reportedly around USD 166 000 monthly.
