There will be no love lost when Pitso Mosimane squares off against Gavin Hunt in a blockbuster NedbankCup semi-final encounter at Orlando Stadium tonight | By Minenhlecr7 IOLsport

The big prize will be a spot in the final of the end-of-season knockout cup, but the fact that these two are the best “home-brewed” coaches will make for an interesting tactical battle.

Mosimane has reigned supreme once in the Nedbank Cup since taking over the coaching reins at the Brazilians. Ironically, the Nedbank Cup was his maiden triumph at Chloorkop . This season they have already won the Telkom Knockout, beating Maritzburg United in the final at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

Hunt, on the other hand, has transformed The Clever Boys from perennial under-performers into winners. The only missing puzzle in Hunt’s list of accomplishments at Wits is the Nedbank Cup. At Wits, Hunt has won the league, the MTN8 and the Telkom Knockout. He will be parting ways with them at the end of the season and he will hope to complete the circle by lifting the only trophy he hasn’t touched with the Milpark outfit.
