Pitso Mosimane Sparks Debate With Comments on Nasreddine Nabi and Mamelodi Sundowns

Pitso Mosimane, one of Africa’s most celebrated coaches, has once again found himself at the center of football debates following his recent remarks about Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi and his former club, Mamelodi Sundowns. While he praised Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro, Mosimane’s criticism of Nabi and the billionaires backing Sundowns didn’t sit well with fans. Here’s what supporters had to say.

Pitso Mosimane on Nasreddine Nabi

Mosimane suggested that Nabi, who has been at the helm of Kaizer Chiefs for seven months, has yet to prove himself. In contrast, he lauded Jose Riveiro for his impact at Orlando Pirates, noting the Spaniard’s three-season tenure as a strong foundation for success.

However, fans of Amakhosi were not impressed:

  • “What a genius!” one fan mocked. “Nabi is scamming Chiefs, and by the time they realize, they might be fighting relegation.”
  • Others felt the comparison was unfair, with one stating, “For someone who talks about projects, it’s disappointing to compare Riveiro’s three years to Nabi’s seven months.”

Criticism of Mamelodi Sundowns

Mosimane also took aim at his former club, claiming their financial resources allow them to dominate the league effortlessly. Fans quickly reacted:

  • “He is bitter,” one fan declared. “Sundowns made him the coach he is today. Without their billions, he might be coaching a struggling side like Magesi FC.”
  • Another fan added, “If Sundowns’ money made his job easier, then the same players he criticizes are the reason he was successful.”

Some, however, agreed with Pitso:

  • “He’s right,” a fan admitted. “Sundowns’ financial muscle means they can buy any player. It’s what keeps them at the top.”

Fans Call Out Pitso Mosimane

Fans also had harsh words for Mosimane’s recent struggles abroad. After a short stint at Esteghlal FC in Iran, Mosimane returned to South Africa amid rumors of discontent in the Middle East.

  • “They call him a money lover in Iran,” one fan quipped. “He failed there and now wants to talk about Sundowns.”
  • Another questioned his motives: “Is he after Nabi’s job? He’s discrediting the Chiefs coach to open doors for himself.”

Others suggested Mosimane move away from club football:

  • “It’s time he focuses on national teams,” a supporter remarked. “He’s trying to be the Sir Alex Ferguson of South Africa, but it’s not working.”

A Bitter Ex?

Mosimane’s perceived fixation on Sundowns didn’t go unnoticed:

  • “Pitso is like a bitter ex,” one fan joked. “He should move on because this won’t end well.”
  • Another fan commented, “If Sundowns were so bad, why is he so obsessed with them? They gave him everything, and now he’s throwing shade.”

What’s Next?

As the PSL continues, all eyes will be on Nabi and Chiefs as they face Stellenbosch, and on Sundowns as they clash with Orlando Pirates. Whether Mosimane’s comments will further fuel tensions remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the fans aren’t holding back their opinions.

The debate rages on, with fans divided over whether Mosimane’s criticism is justified or merely a reflection of his recent struggles.
