Mosimane turns down offers from Qatar and North African clubs

Mosimane says he is humbled by the interest but he is not planning to leave Sundowns.

The former SuperSport United and Bafana Bafana coach says the latest offer came in the week he won his fourth league title.

“I am happy here because I love Sundowns‚” Mosimane was quoted as saying by TimesLIVE.

“I am at peace here at Sundowns but I am humbled by interest from the North Africans. They have given me a lot of respect in the North‚ I think my name is bigger and spoken about more there than anywhere on the continent.

“It is the place to be‚ just ask which countries are playing in the Champions League and Confederations Cup final this season and who has won the tournaments more than any other. Even this week‚ I got a call from Qatar. If it is about money‚ it will be easy just go but I don’t like my CV having this club this year and that club next year,” he added.

“Financially‚ you pocket a lot of money for moving around because you sign a three year contract and when they sack you after one year you go to Fifa if they don’t pay you. I was seven years at SuperSport United and I have been here for six years‚ I have only coached two teams in the PSL. I spent five years with Bafana Bafana and it was worth it. I went to Bafana Bafana to understand international football‚ and that is helping me now with the Moroccans and the Egyptians because I faced those guys,” concluded Mosimane.
