Former Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane has won his first piece of silverware as he guided Al Ahly to the Egyptian Premier League title.

The 56-year-old shockingly resigned as the Brazilians mentor after guiding the Tshwane side the treble, which included the 'La Decima'. 

He swiftly announced and immediately joined the Egyptian giants at the end of September after the club parted ways with Swiss coach Rene Weiler. 

Arriving at the club, Mosimane just had four league matches remaining and went undefeated as the Cairo-based club clinched the title.

Mosimane took to social media to celebrate the historic win, saying: "Red Army Celebrations. This picture goes into my archives. History made."

On Friday 27 November, Mosimane has the chance to add a second CAF Champions League winners medal as Al Ahly take on rivals Zamalek in the final.

Al Ahly are also on board to win the treble with a place in the Egyptian Cup quarter-final.
