“I have no problem leaving this job‚ don't confuse me with a coach who is desperate for a job.'

This unconventional move has left Safa officials bemused as they do not know what Baxter is going to say to the media at the briefing that is being arranged by his business manager Steve Kapelushnik.Speculation is rife that Baxter‚ who led Bafana to an underwhelming quarterfinal stage exit at Afcon in Egypt‚ is going to announce his resignation.

An irritable Baxter said he was not desperate for the Bafana job when he was pressed by the media on the below par performances at the tournament in Egypt. “I have no problem leaving this job‚ don't confuse me with a coach who is desperate for a job. I am not a desperate coach who says‚ please don't sack me‚ please‚" he said after returning from Egypt.

On a serious note we should be looking at our so called giants of the game, Chiefs and Pirates and the PSL itself. Maybe it's just about time we change the Khoza administration.

Arrogant man mxm off u go

He is rite.... south Africans we are lazy and too quick to blame other ppl for our work ethics

Ok

So arrogant and you didn't deliver on your mandate

Bafana Bafana will change coaches till jesus comes back and they will still be loosers ,because SA soccer as a system is a mess and the people in charge don’t know what thier doing . No coach can fix that .

The common denominator with all our failed coaches is not the coaches JustSaying TruthHurts thereisnoiinteam

The coach that reached quarter finals! Cheers

Y private press conference? He wont, he has held SAFA by contractual balls

Again with the coach? Bafana could have the best coach in the world - it would not change a thing. Look further.... 😎

When will we ever build anything if we always change coaches... Please don't resign you had a good tournament reached a quart final which wasn't done by any other coach in 15 years

marc_strydom I will be happy if coach Baxter is going yo announce he is leaving the job because there has been a lot of noise since was appointed and that somehow held back progress and preparations.

Mr Baxter, it's surprising that you were even employed in SA. Can't believe that Jules M allowed it noting your country of birth is that of the Colonial persuasion. You've done a great job, please stay.

Go then!

😂😂😂😂Thatha Baxter 🙌🏾
