A former Al Ahly player has heaped praise on South African coach Pitso Mosimane for his exceptional managerial skills.
Mosimane spent nearly two years at the Egyptian Premier League giants between 2020 and 2022. He joined the Red Devils from Mamelodi Sundowns, where he also enjoyed a successful stint.

During his time at Ahly, Mosimane led the team to two CAF Champions League titles, a league championship, and several other major trophies achievements that earned him widespread respect in Egypt.
Jingles, as the Kagiso-born tactician is affectionately known, was admired by many Ahly players for his leadership and ability to connect with the squad.
Now, former Ahly winger Shady Radwan has described Mosimane as a father figure, showering him with praise despite having been promoted to the first team by Mosimane's predecessor, Rene Weiler.
"I played the match in Suez, and after that my coach told me that someone was gathering information about me, the next day, I was surprised to find that I was ranked on the Guardian's World Ranking," Radwan said according to Al Mashhad.
"Abdel Hafeez supported me and contributed to my promotion along with my teammates Mohamed Fakhry and Mohamed Shukry.

"After a week of training with the first team, Rene Weiler met with us, thanked us for our commitment, and told us that he would come to us if he needed us.
"[But], Mosimane is the one who treated me like his son. I felt with him that playing in the Premier League was easier than playing in the youth sector."
