Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane recently opened up about his links to the Kaizer Chiefs coaching job.
The 59-year-old has been on the marked since leaving United Arab Emirates in November.
Last week, reports emerged that Pitso Mosimane rejected Amakhosi’s offer however the club was quick to deny the reports.
Since parting ways with Moleki Ntseki in October, Chiefs have been searching far and wide for a new coach.
The club started the 2022/23 season on the back foot, which saw them lose four of their first 10 games. The club fired Ntseki and appointed Cavin Johnson as caretaker coach until the end of the season.
Pitso Mosimane, who is a free agent, has been linked with the Chiefs job for over two months but it remains to be seen if you’d take the job.

As a person, you may get excited, because you may like the club. But it’s not about that, this is a business, and it must be a project,” Pitso Mosimane said.

“I have had my own challenges. When I started at Supersport United, they were relegated, and I took them to group stages of Caf Champions League and then six cup finals in a row.
“Chiefs not winning a cup for eight years, these things happen. I can put out the fires. I have always had to put out the fires, all my career. I will have to do things that were not done in the last six years. When I arrived at Mamelodi Sundowns, they had not won a single trophy in six years, and they were number 14 on the PSL log table.
