New Al-Ahli Saudi FC coach Pitso Mosimane says he wants to “recreate history and make the green nation happy” as he joins one of the biggest clubs in Saudi Arabia. It’s a team that has fallen on uncharacteristically tough times of late.

Mosimane’s agency MT Sports labelled him the “turnaround strategist” when he was officially unveiled on Sunday. Al-Ahli were founding members of the Saudi Pro League in the 1976-1977 campaign.

“Shukran [thank you] to the chairman, CEO, board, players and supporters for trusting us with this mission. We will do our best, recreate history and make the green nation happy.

“Alhamdulillah [praise be to God].”

Pitso Mosimane facing a titanic task

Al-Ahli has won three Pro League titles, the most recent in 2015-2016. They currently sit in seventh place in the second tier, after five matches in the 16-team Yelo League.

Al-Ahli has had 14 coaches in the last five years. No pressure, Pitso.
