Former Bafana Bafana of South Africa Coach Pitso Mosimane has opened up on the reason he rejected Super Eagles job
After the departure of Jose Peseiro, Mosimane was one of the coach touted to be on radar of Nigeria
But 2026 World Cup qualifier group changed the whole scenario.
“The calls were coming from Nigeria, the talks were there. Jay-Jay Okocha was leading this thing, he was begging me. But you know South Africa and Nigeria were in the same group. It’s not too nice, it’s unpatriotic because I want to see my team in the World Cup,” Mosimane told SWANA.
“But also, work is work. You can never deny a chance to coach Chukwueze, Osimhen, those players are unbelievable, those guys are top talents in the world.”
South Africa is already ahead of Nigeria in the group.
