Pitso Mosimane clearly explains his overall vision for the rest of his career!
Pitso Mosimane, one of Africa's most celebrated coaches, has identified the final frontier in his illustrious career: achieving glory on the international scene. Currently without a club, the decorated manager stated that making a mark at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the FIFA World Cup is the primary objective that remains unfulfilled.
Mosimane shared his ambitions while attending an event for his youth football foundation's year-end awards. He reflected on his extensive achievements, which include three CAF Champions League triumphs, two FIFA Club World Cup bronze medals, and multiple domestic league crowns, suggesting a new challenge is calling.
"I’ve always said that if you put everything on the table… We’ve been to the FIFA Club World Cup three times, we’ve got medals, and we’ve done Champions League. We’ve done the PSL and other things, but one thing we’ve not done… I’d love to leave a footprint on the AFCON, and I’d like to be part of a team at the World Cup," Mosimane explained.
The former South Africa national team coach pointed to the recent expansion of major tournaments as a significant motivator. He expressed strong belief that the increased opportunities for African teams make his goal more attainable than ever before.
"When we were there, there were only 16 teams; now it’s 24. Come on, we have to be in the [Africa] Cup of Nations. Are we that unlucky? It’s 24 teams. When I was there, it was 16 teams. To go to the World Cup, it was five [African teams], now it’s nine, and it could be 10 [playoff spot]."
