Some fans felt returning to Africa would be a step back in his career after having played at the highest level in Europe
Former Chippa United and TS Galaxy coach Dan Maselela insists Percy Tau's move to Caf Champions League champions Al Ahly should not be regarded as a failure.
The striker completed his move to the Egyptian giants on Thursday, August 26. The Bafana Bafana star joined the Red Devils on a four-year deal and became the second South African to play for Al Ahly after Phakamani Mahlambi.
He still had a year left on his contract with the Premier League club but after struggling to cement a place in the Brighton team, Tau opted to team up with his former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane.
