Mosimane's men managed to beat Hajer Club 2-1 to seal promotion to the Saudi Pro League – his main reason for making the switch to the club late last year.
The fact that he has achieved the mandate with four games to spare makes the 58-year-old's milestone even more impressive.
Being the serial winner that he is, Mosimane has now managed to win league titles in South Africa Egypt and in Saudi Arabia.
Reflecting on his incredible achievement Mosimane says there were doubters when they first took on the job last year, with their detractors billing their move as career suicide.
"They told us that we are (undertaking) career suicide, that the team has lot of problems (management, finances etc), but we bravely took the project, irrespective. They also us told we can't resuscitate the sleeping giant. We daily whispered to it and tonight, it responded. It's awake," he tweeted.
Mosimane and his side could go all the way and win the title, as they currently occupy first place in the Saudi Arabian first division although they are in close contention with al Akhdoud in second position.
