South Africa’s national team stars have taken a selfless stand following their World Cup campaign, insisting that a significant portion of their tournament earnings be funnelled back into the country's youth structures.

The 61-year-old is once again being heavily linked with a return to international management after he emerged as a top candidate for The Eagles.
