With Pitso Mosimane still in search of a new club, a recent report has suggested he is a leading foreign candidate for the managerial role at a top African side.
The South African coach has been without a job since January 2025, having amicably parted ways with Iranian giants Esteghlal due to financial issues.

Mosimane has long been linked with the vacant head coach position at Zamalek SC, which became available after the Egyptian club parted ways with Portuguese manager Jose Peseiro in early May.
Several reports indicate that Zamalek have held discussions with Mosimane, although the club has yet to issue any official confirmation regarding the speculation.
According to Kooora, Mosimane now tops the list of foreign candidates being considered for the Zamalek job. The club reportedly regards him as the ideal choice, thanks to his extensive experience and proven success in African football.
The report also noted that Jingles, as Mosimane is affectionately known, is competing with Brazilian coach Rogerio Micale and Romanian manager Laurențiu Reghecampf amongst others for the position.

Additionally, another South African coach, Rulani Mokwena, was recently linked to the role. However, the 38-year-old has publicly stated that he would not pursue the job out of respect for his mentor, Mosimane.
It remains to be seen whether the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly boss will take the reins at Zamalek ahead of the new season.
