Mosimane has won the CAF Champions League title and CAF Super Cup three times. Hunt has won four DStv Premiership trophies but is yet to win a continent title.
Previously, Mosimane said Hunt was a better coach than he.
Speaking to iDiski Times, Mosimane commended SuperSport United CEO Stan Matthews for sticking with Hunt.
“I said it when Gavin Hunt was going through that small, temporary bad patch — that it was a hiccup. He is a good coach who has won many trophies. He can’t become a bad coach overnight. Thanks Stan Matthews for understanding football,” said Mosimane.
“Gavin Hunt is better than all of us, myself included. He did not win trophies at Sundowns. He won the PSL League title three times at SuperSport. I only came second repeatedly. Think about it. He is a top coach.”

“Thanks. Off-season I will host you for lunch and plan for [the] Caf Champions League,” said Mosimane.
