Pitso Mosimane has reportedly agreed terms with Saudi Pro League side Abha Club.
South African coach Pitso Mosimane has now reportedly agreed terms with a new club.
The former Al Ahly coach is set to take the reins of Saudi Pro League side Abha Club, according to Al Riyadiya who also claim that the manager will begin his managerial duties as early as Saturday to prepare for when league fixtures resume in February, after the AFC Asian Cup.

Abha are currently in the relegation zone, occupying 17th place with just 14 points from 19 games. The side have picked up just one point in their last five fixtures and have conceded a whopping 52 league goals this season, leaving them with a shocking goal difference of -30.
Reports suggest that the club’s hierarchy are set to hold meetings with Mosimane to discuss the recruitment of local and foreign players in a bid to help the club turn its fortunes around, and claw their way out of the relegation zone.
The South African tactician has been in high demand after his tenure with with United Arab Emirates club Al Wahda lasted just a few months. The ex-Mamelodi Sundowns coach was appointed in June last year, before parting ways with club in November.
He is since believed to have attracted interest from various clubs as well as the Nigeria Football Federation, a role he admitted to be open to considering if it were to be offered to him.

Mosimane is one of South Africa’s most decorated coaches, having won the CAF Champions League on three occasions as well as winning league titles in Egypt and SA before helping Al Ahli get promoted to the first tier of Saudi football last year.
