Mosimane confirms himself as SA’s greatest soccer coach

SOUTH African soccer coach Pitso Mosimane confirmed his status as the greatest coach to emerge from South Africa and one of the greatest to emerge from Africa as his Al Ahly side earned a convincing 3-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs in the CAF Champions League final last weekend.

The Egyptian giants dominated the game for the most part with their goal not even threatened once. It was Mosimane’s third Champions League success and his second on the trot. His next stop from here should be to coach outside Africa, ideally in Europe. He has already won everything that there is to win in South African football and so should not return home.

Sir Lewis will not relinquish World Championship easily

Sir Lewis Hamilton suggested that he is not prepared to relinquish his Formula One World Drivers Championship easily as he won his home grand prix, the British Grand Prix, at the Silverstone Circuit last weekend.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was second while Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas was third.

It was a bad race for World Drivers Championship leader Max Verstappen who failed to get among the points following an early crash.

Hamilton’s win reduces the gap between himself and Verstappen to just eight points. The next Grand Prix will be in Hungary in two weeks and there are still 11 races remaining before the season’s final race in Abu Dhabi, set for December.
