The Egyptian giants recently roped in former African Coach of the Year, Pitso Mosimane who has also taken along fitness trainer, Kabelo Rangoanga and performance analyst Musi Matlaba who he worked with at Mamelodi Sundowns. He has also brought in Cavin Johnson as his assistant.
It seems now Mosimane has his eyes set on Amakhosi’s Serbian attacker who scored 13 league goals in 25 matches in his first season last term.
“@AlAhly have initiated an approach to sign Serbian striker Samir Nurkovic (28) from @KaizerChiefs. Nurkovic scored 13 goals in 25 matches in all competitions last season,” wrote reputed journalist Nuhu Adams on Twitter on Monday.
