Black Leopards coach Maxwell Konadu has revealed that Pitso Mosimane, one of the most successful coaches in Africa, is his role model as he takes a lot of inspiration from him.
The 51-year-old highly-rated Ghanaian joined Leopards on a three-year deal two weeks ago, having recently guided Nsoatreman to win the Ghana FA Cup title, their first ever trophy, and to qualify for next season’s CAF Confederation Cup. The club also finished fourth in the Ghanaian Premiership.
Leopards have failed to secure promotion back to the top-flight since they were relegated in the 2019/20 season. Konadu, who was the Black Stars’ assistant coach at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, aims to use his extensive experience to help the Venda side reclaim promotion.
However, the new Leopards tactician hasn’t hidden his affection for Mosimane. “I respect Pitso so much, and he’s been my role model for some time. I chat with him sometimes...I’ve been following him a lot,” Konadu said.
