With Pitso Mosimane's camp in advanced talks with Iranian outfit Esteghlal, the Siya crew has learnt that a potential deal has hit a snag.
Despite Esteghlal's insistence on having the 60-year-old as their main candidate to take over the head coaching position, a possible deal now appears to be hanging in the balance.
This is after Siya sources privy to information on the deal informed the crew that talks have hit a snag as the two parties could not come to an agreement over the coach's personal terms and the win bonuses for his technical team.

As seen in the highly publicized contract with Saudi outfit Al Ahli, Mosimane and his technical team are remunerated well for winning matches, which is a standard feature in their employment contracts.

As things stand, a deal currently hangs in the balance, though the Siya crew will keep you up to date with the latest on Mosimane's future.
