Al Ahli fans calling for Pitso to be fired

Imagine losing a match as a coach for the first time in four months since taking over and some already demanding for your head.

Pitso Mosimane is one such person, having to deal with a minor but loudly irate section of the Al Ahli Saudi fanbase.

His side was thumped 4-1 by Al Akhdoud in a Saudi First Division League match on Thursday, which saw him apologise for the embarrassing nature of the loss.

Up to that point, he had expertly guided the side to first place on the log standings, which was acknowledged by a majority of supporters who understand the unpredictable nature of sport. However, some absolutely lost the plot.

“Unfortunately, you did bad tonight and you were the main cause of this catastrophic result!!! Sometimes I feel that you don’t want the team to win !!!! ”

“We don’t want excuses, Mr. Pitso, you brought shame to this club in this match, but you have to understand that some players we don’t want to see again, and you must be playing with 6 foreign professionals. ”

Another wrote:

“Your apology is not accepted, and I hope that you will be dismissed as soon as possible because the team in your presence has no technical identity and only wins by supplication. The team is weak physically, tactically, and organizationally, the reason is your numerous unjustified vacations with your employees. I hope you will be expelled as soon as possible.”

Mosimane apologises to supporters
Pitso Mosimane has very high standards.

This showed again in the dugout of Saudi First Division League side Al Ahli Saudi. The club lost for the first time under the South African’s tutelage since he took over towards the end of last year, suffering a thumping and costly 4-1 defeat to Al Akhdoud last night, something for which he apologised on social media.

However, the loss dropped them down to third place, tied on 37 points with Akhdoud (first) and Al Hazm (second).
