The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has chosen Al Ahly and former Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane to headline Tuesday’s Caf Champions League and Confederation Cup draw.
Sundowns and AmaZulu are the two SA clubs who both reached the group phase of the 2021-22 Champions League, and who will find out who their opponents are in the draw at Caf's headquarters in Cairo. Orlando Pirates are SA's remaining team in the Confed Cup after Marumo Gallants were eliminated in the second round.
Mosimane is the second-highest winning coach after Portuguese Ahly club legend Manuel Jose (four titles) with three Champions League winners’ medals.
He also became the second-highest winner as coach in the Caf Super Cup — also by three to four with Jose — when Ahly defended that trophy by beating Raja Casablanca on penalties in Qatar last week.
Mosimane is only the second Ahly coach after Jose to defend the Champions League and Super Cup at the Cairo club.
