CAF president Patrice Motsepe admits to being a huge fan of former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane and would love him to coach Bafana Bafana in future.
Mosimane left Sundowns in 2020 after a very successful trophy-laden time at the club to join Egyptian giants Al Ahly.
The relationship between Mosimane and Motsepe has not always been rosy and when he left Sundowns he was made to pay back the R8 million signing-on bonus after renewing his contract before suddenly leaving to move to Egypt.
But despite what happened in the past, Motsepe appears to still be a huge fan of the 57-year-old Mosimane.
