Playing career

Moosa began his football career as a player with East Bengal F.C. who he played for in the National Football League. On 9 November 1997 Moosa played a part in East Bengal's historic victory over J. League Division 1 side Verdy Kawasaki in the Asian Cup Winners Cup in which a Samuel Omollo's goal in the 61st minute led to East Bengal winning the match 1–0 at the Salt Lake Stadium, however East Bengal were still out of the tournament as Verdy won the first leg of the two-legged event by a score of 5–2. [2] Thirteen days later however, Mossa again made history with East Bengal as he helped the Kolkata club win the IFA Shield over KBL-FC Kochi in which East Bengal won 3–2 at the Salt Lake Stadium. [3]

Moosa's time however at East Bengal officially ended in 1998 when he signed for Mumbai based club, Mahindra & Mahindra. [4] While at Mahindra & Mahindra Moosa failed to reach the same success that he enjoyed at East Bengal. His biggest chance at silverware at Mahindra & Mahindra came on 12 November 2000 when Mahindra & Mahindra were in the final of the 2000 Durand Cup in which they had to face Mohun Bagan but an extra-time golden goal from R.C. Prakash saw the match end in Bagan's favor 2–1. [5]

Despite Air India taking the lead in the 41st minute, ONGC came back to win 2–1. [7] He would fail to get Air India a single victory during his short three months stint with the club as Air India eventually finished 13th, in the relegation zone, at the end of the season. [8]

Pune FC: 2013–16

Moosa managed youth team of Pune F.C. Under his coaching Pune F.C. Academy won two I-League U20 titles in 2012 and 2013. He also led the team to Pune Football League title in 2016. [9]
