Bafana Bafana’s new coach Pitso Mosimane has confirmed his appointment after securing a crucial friendly match against Egypt. The game, to be held at Cairo’s International Stadium next month, marks a return to familiar ground for Mosimane, who previously coached Al Ahly SC in Cairo. Veteran administrator Peter Koutroulis has endorsed Mosimane’s appointment, citing his deep understanding of South African football.
Mosimane’s history with Egypt dates back to his time at Al Ahly SC, where he guided the club to two consecutive CAF Champions League titles. The friendly against Egypt is seen as a key opportunity for Bafana Bafana to test new strategies and build momentum ahead of upcoming competitions. The match is expected to draw significant attention due to the historical rivalry and the presence of former African champions.
The appointment of Mosimane has been welcomed by football circles, with many acknowledging his experience and tactical acumen. As preparations for the match begin, the focus remains on delivering a strong performance and setting the tone for future international engagements.
