We Are Hungry for Glory: Pitso Mosimane
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Esteghlal football team’s newly-appointed head coach Pitso Mosimane is looking for glory with the Iranian top-flight club.
The South African coach was named Esteghlal coach Friday night.
He replaced Javad Nekounam, who parted ways with Esteghlal last month.
“Esteghlal FC is a very big club in the Persian Gulf region, with a long and illustrious history. The two Asian Champions League stars on top of their badge tell you what kind of club this is,” said Mosimane.
“Their last trophy was won in 2022 and we can believe their fans are hungry for glory once again. The challenge that awaits us is steep, but it is our privilege to lead such a prolific club.
“I would like to thank the club leadership for placing their trust in us. We are ready to get to work,” added Mosimane.
Esteghlal FC, also known as “The Blues”, was founded in 1945 and boasts a trophy cabinet filled with 38 provincial, national and continental championship titles.
