Pitso Mosimane says he still has not received an official offer from Kaizer Chiefs.

Since parting ways with Moleki Ntseki in October, Amakhosi have been searching far and wide for a new coach.

Chiefs started the 2022/23 season on the back foot, which saw them lose four of their first 10 games. The club fired Ntseki and appointed Cavin Johnson as caretaker coach until the end of the season.

Mosimane, who is a free agent, has been linked with the Chiefs job for over a month now.

PITSO MOSIMANE DAYS HE CAN PUT OUT THE FIRES AT CHIEFS

Speaking to Sunday World, the 59-year-old mentor revealed that he was open to joining the Soweto Giants.

“I have not officially got an offer. I will tell you how we work at my agency MT Sports. I do not talk to clubs. Everybody knows that if they want to talk to us they must speak to MT Sports. As a person, you may get excited, because you may like the club. But it’s not about that, this is a business, and it must be a project,” Mosimane said.

“I speak to everybody at Chiefs, I talk to Jessica, she moves around a lot at Caf. I talk to Kemiso, I saw them at a memorial service last week. But we did not talk about football. I also want to win things again, maybe with a different club or country. I would like to leave a legacy everywhere. “

Mosimane admitted that it would be a challenge to get Chiefs back to winning ways, but said he could put out the flames if he de decides to take one of the hottest coaching seats on the continent. 

“I have had my own challenges. When I started at Supersport United, they were relegated, and I took them to group stages of Caf Champions League and then six cup finals in a row. 

“Chiefs not winning a cup for eight years, these things happen. I can put out the fires. I have always had to put out the fires, all my career. I will have to do things that were not done in the last six years. When I arrived at Mamelodi Sundowns, they had not won a single trophy in six years, and they were number 14 on the PSL log table.

“The issue is what is their short and long-term plans. It’s like in business, it works like that. Chiefs always had star players and they were beating everybody, that’s why the brand is big. I saw their game against Moroka Swallows recently and I think they need a little bit of work,” Mosimane added.
