Renowned South African coach Pitso Mosimane is reportedly on the verge of returning to the dugout, with Iranian club Esteghlal Khuzestan set to announce his appointment.
This would mark the end of a brief hiatus for the highly decorated manager since his departure from Abha Club in Saudi Arabia earlier this year.
Mosimane, known for his successful stints at clubs like Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly, has been linked with several teams in recent months, including Kaizer Chiefs, Nigeria, and Raja Casablanca.
However, it appears that Esteghlal Khuzestan has won the race for his signature.
According to Unplayable, the deal is nearing completion, and Mosimane is expected to take charge of the Iranian side in the near future.
Esteghlal Khuzestan currently finds themselves in 12th place in the Iranian Premier League after six matches under previous coach Miodrag Bozovic.
Mosimane’s appointment would undoubtedly be a significant boost for Esteghlal Khuzestan, as the South African tactician brings a wealth of experience and success to the Iranian league.
His ability to develop young talent and achieve consistent results has made him one of the most respected coaches in African football.
While the move to Iran may surprise some, it aligns with Mosimane’s ambition to expand his coaching horizons and explore new challenges.
His decision to join Esteghlal Khuzestan is a testament to his belief in the club’s potential and his desire to contribute to the growth of Iranian football.
As Pitso Mosimane prepares for a new chapter in his coaching career, football fans around the world will be watching with anticipation to see how he fares in the Iranian Premier League.
