His new team are currently in 17th place in their 18-team league, with 14 points from 19 games.
MT Sports MD Moira Tlhagale told the Sunday World: “I can confirm to you that coach Pitso has officially signed with Saudi Arabia club Abha FC on Thursday.
“Coach Pitso will be returning to the gulf and has signed a four-month contract with the team until the end of the season.
“His mandate is clear and that is to ensure that Abha survives relegation and plays in the Pro League again next season.”
