Reported Kaizer Chiefs managerial target Pitso Mosimane has work to do if Abha is going to stay in the Saudi Pro League.

Pitso Mosimane has a mandate to keep Abha afloat In 10 games at the helm of Abha Club, Pitso Mosimane has presided over three wins, two draws and five defeats.It’s not a disastrous run, but the nature of those defeats and the fact that a few were against direct rivals is cause for concern.Pitso’s mandate at the start of the year was to retain Abha’s top-flight status with a six-month contract.

Serial winner Mosimane is in unfamiliar territory Pitso Mosimane, affectionately known as Jingles, is a veteran who knows how to win.He’s collected 17 trophies in his storied career, including three CAF Champions League crowns.

The challenge of keeping a side afloat is altogether different and arguably more staunch.Abha lost 4-0 to Al Akhdoud on Saturday, leaving Pitso’s side in 17th place and facing the real prospect of relegation with five games remaining.Akhdoud leapfrogged Mosimane’s charges with that result and now two points clear of Abha.

What’s next for Jingles? Things hardly get any easier for Abha Club.

Next is a clash with Al-Ittihad, a team still contesting the Kings Cup of Champions semi-finals against Al-Hilal on Tuesday.Pitso will be hoping a few extra days of rest for his side can help them turn around their poor run of form.They’ve conceded 18 goals in their last four outings and 78 times all season, 10 more than any other team.For context, bottom club Al Haxzm have conceded 68.

Pitso is being lauded as the man to end Kaizer Chiefs’ trophy drought Amakhosi last won silverware back in 2015.

The world has changed a lot since, but is he the man to turn their fortunes around? These things didn’t even exist nine years ago:
