Our ambassador to South Africa, Ahmed El Fadly, congratulated Pitso Mosimani on his appointment as Al Ahly new coach, which made him the first South African to fill this prestigious position. 

The ambassador was keen to say goodbye to the manager and his assistants prior to their journey to Egypt to join the African Club of the Century.

El Fadly congratulated Mosimani on being the first South African to coach Al Ahly and wished him and his assistants the best of luck in their new mission with Al Ahly. 

El Fadly affirms that appointing Mosimani reflects the depth of relations between Egypt and the other African countries, specifically South Africa, and will boost the Egyptian-South African relations on the grassroots level thanks to the huge fan base of both Al Ahly and Mamelodi Sundowns.

The ambassador revealed that he trusts Mosimani’s ability to lead Al Ahly to success after achieving the CAF Champions League and CAF Super Cup titles with Mamelodi Sundowns. 

On the other hand, Mosimani congratulated El Fadly on being appointed as the Egyptian ambassador to South Africa and thanked him for the embassy’s support and stated that he is happy and excited to be Al Ahly coach.
