Mosimane has made a career of winning silverware with some of the biggest clubs on the African continent, yet the next five matches could prove to be crucial for Jingles' managerial career.
Boasting the record of having never been relegated in his career, Mosimane will be hellbent on maintaining that record and for the most part, has done a good job in ensuring that it remains that way.
His side finds themselves second from bottom with 25 points after 29 matches played this season.
Importantly, Al Ittihad, Damac, Al Ahli Jeddah, Al Khaleej, and Al Hazm all stand between Mosimane's Abha Club and safety.
If his side manage to get maximum points in all of these matches, Abha Club could amass a total of 40 points, which should be enough to secure safety.
A worry for Mosimane though is the fact that three of his next five opponents are all within the top eight of the Saudi Pro League standings.
A crucial clash for Mosimane is the one against bottom-placed Al Hazm, who currently sit below Abha Club on the log standings, though it could be a dead rubber match if results don't go his way.
In the 10 matches Mosimane has overseen so far, five have ended in defeat, while he has managed three wins and two draws with his side, though the next few weeks will be telling for the experienced coach.
