Renowned soccer tactician Pitso Mosimane, on Saturday unveiled his Soccer School, the Pitso Mosimane Soccer School (PMSS) in an official media launch held at the Maslow Hotel, in Sandton.
The launch saw attendance by key stakeholders in sports including local government leaders, like the Gauteng MEC of Education Matome Chiloane, Premier of Gauteng Panyaza Lesufi, and SA Football Association (Safa) Technical Director, Walter Steenbok, who all delivered words of support.
While delivering his words of encouragement, Lesufi, who is well known in the football circles reiterated support for Mosimane and his “dream”, saying that he was ready to listen and ready to sign any documentation should Mosimane come knocking.
Mosimane said PMSS will guide and grow young footballers to become technically, academically, and socially equipped, to succeed and excel in the competitive world of professional football.
“It is very important to have the support and endorsement from the Premier of Gauteng, Gauteng MEC of Education, Safa, Curro Holdings, the media and all the honoured guests,” said Mosimane.
“I am very emotional about my dream coming alive and I hope we will have more stakeholders from all around the country supporting the PMSS programme further. Thank you for all your support, this means a lot to me.
“PMSS aims to accommodate every child that wants to play football, and with your help, we can reach as many children as possible and provide them with the correct training programme.”
Mosimane also highlighted that his school was not about organising tournaments but establishing and nurturing young talent.
