Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane has been named as ‘Best Manager in Egypt’ by the Sports Critics Association for his exploits with the Red Eagles.

Mosimane has enjoyed huge success since joining Ahly in October 2020 after he led them to the treble, which included the Caf Champions League tite, Egyptian Premier League title and the Egypt Cup. 

'I’m very grateful to have been awarded the Best Manager award, and I thank everyone who voted for me,' Mosimane said in his acceptance speech.

'I accept it on behalf of the players, the coaching staff, the board of directors and the fans.

'I feel here as if I’m at home in Egypt. I feel welcomed and warmth, and I have a great responsibility with a big team.

'We have a match on Wednesday, and after that I will talk about the derby,' he concluded.
