Speaking on Kaya FM, Mosimane answered questions surrounding his interest in the Kaizer Chiefs vacant post.
“I go anywhere, I’m a professional, as long as you show me the vision, and we are aligned.
“Any team, any team, I will go work for it. Because I want to have the energy. I don’t want to wake up and then I’m doing it for the sake of doing it,” he said.
