The South African manager enters an elite club with victory over Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday, but trophies can lose their lustre quickly at big clubs
Saturday night’s Caf Champions League final afforded Pitso Mosimane yet another opportunity to corral a slice of African football history.
The 56-year-old has, among a few other things, become the fifth coach to retain the Caf Champions League title and the second in Al Ahly history, having become only the third man to win it with two different clubs when his side beat SC Zamalek in last year's final.
This year’s challenger Kaizer Chiefs presented an altogether different challenge, as well as an interesting wrinkle: Mosimane only won five (and lost eight) of 18 meetings in all competitions against Amakhosi in his eight years in charge at Mamelodi Sundowns.
