Pitso Mosimane Commends Gaston Sirino for His Impact at Kaizer Chiefs Following His Transfer from Mamelodi Sundowns

Pitso Mosimane, former Mamelodi Sundowns coach, has been vocal in his admiration for Kaizer Chiefs forward Gaston Sirino, the player he originally brought to Sundowns in 2018.

Sirino, now 33, joined Chiefs on a free transfer and has quickly become a key figure for the team.

Mosimane’s praise for Sirino reflects the mutual respect between the two, with Mosimane acknowledging the significant role Sirino played during his time at Sundowns.

Sirino’s Legacy at Sundowns

During his six-and-a-half years at Sundowns, Sirino helped the team secure an impressive list of trophies, including seven league titles, a Telkom Knockout, an MTN8, a Nedbank Cup, and an African Football League title.

Though he once attempted to reunite with Mosimane at Al Ahly, circumstances changed, and Sirino found himself out of favor at Sundowns.

Despite this, Mosimane remains unwavering in his admiration, highlighting Sirino’s consistency.

“Class is permanent,” Mosimane remarked, underscoring Sirino’s passion for football, his skill in scoring goals, and his knack for providing assists.

A Strong Start at Chiefs

Since his arrival at Kaizer Chiefs, Sirino has wasted no time making his mark.

In his first four matches, he has netted two goals and contributed three assists, earning a Man of the Match award along the way.

His quick impact on the team has been undeniable, and he’s taken the challenge of playing for such a prestigious club seriously.

Reflecting on a recent game against SuperSport United, Sirino admitted the intensity of the match but emphasized the need for determination, recognizing that playing for Chiefs demands a winning mentality.

Embracing Responsibility and a New Mentality

Sirino’s move to Kaizer Chiefs has come with a significant sense of responsibility.

Under the guidance of coach Nasreddine Nabi, the forward has embraced a shift in the team’s mentality.

He shared how the coach’s influence has inspired a commitment to winning every match, a crucial change for a club with the stature of Chiefs.

Sirino said, “It’s a big responsibility to play for Kaizer Chiefs, but I’m here to help the team… the change of mentality [under coach Nabi] has been important to all of us.”

Focused on the Future

Looking ahead, Sirino is eager to maintain his form and help Chiefs continue their winning ways.

Reflecting on a previous game against Sundowns, he acknowledged that while they could have scored more, the focus is now on preparing for another tough encounter against SuperSport.

In a warm gesture, Sirino also took a moment to wish the club’s chairman, Dr. Kaizer Motaung, a happy 80th birthday, recognizing his legendary status within the team.
