Pitso Mosimane has hit back at critics who claim he's not implemented an attractive brand of football since his arrival at Al Ahly.
Mosimane succeeded Swiss coach Rene Weiler in September last year after winning the domestic treble with Mamelodi Sundowns.
The former Bafana Bafana coach then led the Club of the Century to the Egypt Cup and their CAF Champions League title in seven years which completed a treble of their own with the league already wrapped up.
A historic third-place podium finish at the FIFA Club World Cup followed and with the Red Devils in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and in contention for league honours again - he's hit back at those questioning his management.

Mamelodi Sundowns playmaker Gaston Sirino admits he would love to join Al Ahly in the future as he talked up the clash against his former coach Pitso Mosimane.
Ahly made no secret of their desire to lure Sirino to Cairo and the pursuit of his services were amplified when Mosimane left Sundowns to join the Red Devils.
However, the Brazilians held firm during negotiations which fell through after the African champions stopped short of their asking price.
But ahead of the Champions League quarter-final clash Sirino has suggested that he still harbours hopes of representing the record nine-time African champions.

By Staff Reporter
Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rulani Mokwena says the pressure is on Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League quarter-finals.
Sundowns were drawn with the defending champions on Friday at the official CAF headquarters in Cairo for a tantalising last-eight tie with Mosimane returning to his former club for the first time.
After winning a domestic treble with the Brazilians in the 2019/20 campaign, Mosimane resigned to take up the role at the Club of the Century in September last year - where he went on to secure a treble for the Egyptian giants.
But in the current campaign, having lost out to Simba SC for the Group A top spot, the Club of the Century have now been drawn against the club he served for eight years.
