Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Denis Onyango and his South African club Mamelodi Sundowns will meet their former boss Pitso Mosimane after the Caf Champions League quarterfinal drew them against Al Ahly.<\/p>\n

Sundowns will meet their former manager who resigned last September to take on a new challenge with the Egyptian giants.<\/p>\n

Mosimane then won a record ninth Caf Champions League title for Al Ahly with a victory over nemesis Zamalek.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old is regarded as the most successful coach in South African football with five league titles won with Sundowns.<\/p>\n

He is widely credited for building the fabric of former Cranes\u2019 skipper Onyango, Hlompho Kekana, Sibusiso Vilakazi and Kennedy Mweene among others and it will be an emotional reunion when the legs come next month.<\/p>\n

Sundowns, who topped Group B, face Group A runners-up Al Ahly whom they beat 5-1 on aggregate to the 2019 semi-finals. The Egyptian side avenged to win 3-1 on aggregate last season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another Uganda Cranes\u2019 player Taddeo Lwanga with Simba SC, will face South African side Kaizer Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Simba topped Group A with 13 and defensive midfielder Lwanga managed four clean sheets in five of the matches.<\/p>\n

The 1974 semi-finalists Simba are keen on a run under coach Didier Gomes to become the first East African club in the region to win this silverware.<\/p>\n
