Mosimane has continued his tradition of winning titles in every club he has managed from Super Sport United and Mamelodi Sundowns in his native South Africa to Al Ahly in Egypt.
The 58-year-old is expected to leave the Al Ahli at the conclusion of the Saudi First Division season as his contract is reportedly set to expire with the Al Ahli hierarchy not keen to extend it.
Mosimane has been linked with a number of top African clubs such Wydad Casablanca, Esperance, Kaizer Chiefs and the Nigeria national team.
