Serero’s Al Jazira are representing Asia and are hosts for the tournament which kicks off on Thursday.
“Hello coach Mosimane, welcome to Abu Dhabi. I wish you all the best in the World Cup and I hope I will meet you in the final,” said Serero in a video message sent by his club to Mosimane via Twitter.
Mosimane responded with a short but sweet answer: “Hello my boy, Inshallah (Arabian for if Allah wills it).”
Serero’s Al Jazira will play a playoffs match against Tahiti’s AS Pirae on Thursday and if they make it past they will then move to the second round where they will meet Asian champions Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
Mosimane’s Al Ahly begin their campaign on Saturday against North American champions CF Monterrey of Mexico.
