Mosimane signed with Al Wahda after parting ways with Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli, the club he helped get promoted from the second division Yelo League to the top league last season.
He is joining the team with trusted lieutenants and compatriots Kabelo Rangoaga, Musi Matlaba, Kyle Solomon and Maahier Davids, who perform various duties behind the scenes.
Sports, arts and culture minister Zizi Kodwa congratulated Pitso on his move, saying he was confident he would deliver his trademark excellent coaching at the UAE club.
“I congratulated the coach on his move. We know all too well that Pitso is going to deliver his trademark excellent coaching there and we wish him all the best. South Africa stands behind him as he represents our nation in the world of football,” said Kodwa.
Mosimane replied: “Thank you, minister, I really appreciate your support. The Pitso Mosimane Soccer Schools are ready to contribute to youth football development and build world-class players for our country.”

Fans of Pitso Mosimane will not be seeing the coach on MacG's popular podcast, Podcast and Chill, any time soon.
Followers of the podcast have been calling for Pitso to make an appearance after his move from Al Ahli Saudi to Al Wahda FC in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Pro League.
“May we please try [and] get Pitso Mosimane on the show Podcast and Chill with MacG while he is still in the country,” said one social media user.
The podcast's co-host Sol Phenduka responded to the plea, saying Pitso said he can't make an appearance on the podcast as the hosts drink and it's associated with an alcohol brand.
“He said he can’t come, he works with Arabs. So you know 'Haram vibes' since he works for Muslims,” said Sol.
“Even if we don’t drink on his interview but it’s a platform where we drink and stuff, it makes sense. Maybe one day when he’s managing in Europe.”
