Al-Ahli suffered a shock first-ever relegation to the second-tier Yelo League last season and have turned to the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly coach to reawaken the sleeping giant.

Pictures released by the club late on Monday showed Mosimane did not waste time as he took charge of his first training session at the Prince Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium after he was introduced to the staff and players.
