It was the Mosimane s second win over Al Ittihad after Al Ahly eliminated the Alexandria-based side from the Egyptian Cup earlier this month.
Mosimane took Hassan s opinion in his stride and explained that the success he has enjoyed at the Red Devils has come through hard work.
“I respect his [Ibrahim Hassan’s] opinion, Mosimane said on Maybe his statements suit clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City as well, but I know that football does not work like that.
Mosimane hit the ground running at Al Ahly when he joined the club after resigning as Mamelodi Sundowns head coach at the end of September 2020.

Fair enough, you might think, especially in the case of Flick. But they didn’t even make the long list, where Zinedine Zidane and Julen Lopetegui did instead.
This is not intended to do down the achievements of those coaches but more to talk up Mosimane and Jesus, and serve as a reminder that there is life - in a football sense – outside of Europe’s biggest leagues.

But it’s not just the money or the level of attention that define the work of football’s best coaches.

Al Ahly president Mahmoud El Khatib has revealed the steps the Club of the Century took to appoint Pitso Mosimane as head coach.
After a trophy-laden spell in South Africa with Mamelodi Sundowns, which lasted nearly eight years and yielded no fewer than 11 major honours, Mosimane joined the Egyptian giants on 30 September 2020.
In the brief period since his appointment, the 56-year-old has already led the club to the 2019/20 CAF Champions League and Egypt Cup trophies, while he also guided his team home in the Egyptian Premier League after predecessor Rene Weiler had secured the title.
