Former South Africa defender Lucky Lekgwathi has thrown his full support behind the 62-year-old’s imminent return to the national team dugout. The legendary captain believes that appointing a local tactician will provide the current squad with the creative license often restricted under European management.
It seemed like the 64-year-old had everything sown up after the SAFA NEC approved his candidacy but a report in the French media has linked a Chelsea legend with the South Africa job. Despite this, Jingles is still considered the frontrunner to replace Hugo Broos.
South African Football Association (SAFA) Vice-President Linda Zwane has launched a staunch defence of Danny Jordaan, dismissing claims that the long-standing president sidelines his deputies. As the elective congress approaches, Zwane insists that those in leadership must learn to manage their personal goals to maintain organisational stability.
Bafana Bafana legend has thrown his weight behind the winger after the starlet completed his blockbuster move to Danish heavyweights. The 22-year-old was officially unveiled on Tuesday, finally drawing a line under the relentless speculation surrounding his future at Mamelodi Sundowns.
SAFA have already announced that in an NEC Extraordinary Meeting at SAFA House on August 8 that 'Jingles' would be South Africa's next head coach. The appointment was supposed to be announced shortly afterwards but a disagreement over the pay structure has seen it drag on past the middle of the month. Assuming rumours of progress are correct, Pitso will have a substantial Inbox to busy himself with when he assumes the hot seat vacated by Hugo Broos.
