Pitso Mosimane is facing a fresh challenge with fickle bosses at his new club.
Pitso Mosimane has found a new job across the Saudi Arabia border after the end of his successful stint with Al Ahli FC but will walk into the job facing unstable bosses.
Mosimane has been running the rule at Al Ahli Saudi since September 2022 and took the club back to the Saudi Pro League where Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr) and Karim Benzema (Al Ittihad) will provide opposition.

The 58-year-old doubled up his promotion by lifting the Saudi Arabia second tier league title.
However, instead of having the option (which came with the condition of promotion) of an extension on his contract triggered, Mosimane has found himself being given a cold shoulder and left Al Ahli after recording 19 wins, seven draws and three defeats at Al Ahli and taking the club from seventh position that he found them in to top of the standings.
Mosimane has now packed up to join Al Wahda in the United Arab Emirates Pro League.
The former Bafana Bafana coach was announced on Saturday evening at the back of interest from Tunisian giants Esperance, Nigeria, and two other clubs in the UAE.
At Al Wahda, Mosimane will take over from Arno Buitenweg who has been in charge of the charge on a caretaker basis since March after taking over from Spaniard Manolo Jimenez.
Al Wahda finished third last season and have had eight coaching changes in the last three years with Biutenweg, Jimenez (twice), Carlos Carvalhal, Gregory Dufrennes, Henk ten Cate, Vuk Rasovic, and Mark Wotte calling the shots.
None of their coaches have lasted over two years since Javier Aguirre was in charge from 2015 to 2017.
Aguirre now coaches Spanish La Liga club Mallorca La Liga.
Al Wahda once had former Brazil coach Tite in charge for seven weeks back in 2010.
The Abu Dhabi based club have been the UAE champions on four occasions before and regularly play Asian Champions League football.
