Arguably the best football manager In Africa, Pitso revealed his dream of winning the CAF Champions League thrice as Madrid conquered Europe.
Pitso has guided the Egyptian giant Al Ahly twice to winning the trophy in 2019/20 and 2020/21 in his two years stint with the club.
In a press briefing ahead of the game tomorrow, Pitso Said:
“At our level and experience, it’s not about outsmarting each other as coaches,” he said in the pre-match press conference.
“The game is bigger than that; it’s about Al Ahly versus Mamelodi Sundowns. I respect the opponent’s coaching staff.
“When you coach teams like Sundowns and Al Ahly, you are expected to win constantly.
“That’s our lives as coaches. It’s normal and we have to understand that. The pressure is big, we have pressure.
“We won the Champions League back to back, and we’re expected to win it this year as well. We believe that we can win it.
“Sundowns are also under pressure as they will be attempting to win the competition for the first time in seven years.”
