For Pitso Mosimane and his technical staff, the step out of Africa is about breaking barriers and exploring a new theatre of football in Asia, he said on his decision to join Al-Ahli Saudi FC.
“SA players and coaches need to move. And if Europe is not easy to move into, we need to go to North Africa and that will give you a step into the Middle East and Asian football. Roger De Sa is in Asian football now with Carlos Queiroz.”
“And the guys [his team] looked at the league, we looked at the expectations, and it’s also making history for us and keeping our legacy in that space in the Middle East. “This one is a big club — it’s among the top four in Saudi. And the exciting thing, and also a bit of a risk, is you have to take this team back to the Pro League.
