Safa have received more than 200 applications since ex-Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki was sacked last month and as things are at the moment‚ Mozambique-born Portuguese national Carlos Queiroz‚ well-travelled Frenchman Hervé Renard and Belgian Hugo Broos are the last men standing.
TimesLIVE has been reliably informed that negotiations with the three men got under way in earnest on Monday morning. Queiroz is believed to be the strong favourite as, besides putting his hand up and telling Safa he is available to take over at a moment's notice‚ he has a firm understanding of Bafana and SA in general.He is said to consider SA as his second home and it is no secret that he has close friends at Safa House‚ including Safa president Danny Jordaan.
He had already agreed terms with Safa and was set to be announced as the new coach when his employers at the time‚ the Iran Football Association‚ pulled the rug from under his feet and triggered a €7m resignation clause in his contract. He became the first coach to win two Africa Cup of Nations titles with different countries after leading the Ivorians to the winners' podium.
Broos also had discussions with Safa at the time but his own list of demands‚ including 20% of his salary he wanted his agent to be paid‚ put his prospective employers off.
It’s weird that SAFA still believes Europeans coaches are more appropriate and qualified to lead a national team.
Bafana bafana 'umswapheni'
Because nobody worked hard for it then it deserves to go down the drain. Can I have just at least five reasons why SAFA_net should hire a foreign coach? 4 the Y.
Benni McCarthy as coach and Tinkler as his assistant
The whole SAFA_net is simply useless. MYANC really knows how to breed incompetence. NathiMthethwaSA can you make yourself useful for once?
Quiroz again
Harvey Renard!!! Is the name
New coach, same management.
Renard for me.
Mnximmmmmmmmmmm
Roger de daar and Tinkler would have been better coaches shem
This guys are not serious why not Local coach
Safa is acting like kaizer chiefs boss, they are useles, blind people will still blame the coach for the loses, even though the problem is with Danny 🤦🏽♂🙆🏽♂
Jose Mourinho, Frank Lampard and Rafael Benitez? 🙄
The whole SAFA members must be dissolved first before the appointment of new couch.
Jose please they must bring Jose who is now available
No plumber will save Bafana. We need a strong local coach, that's all
What we need is soccer players.
It will make absolutely no difference who you pick as coach Pep Guardiola couldn't wouldn't be able to turn Bafana around. Problem is not the coach. Start by getting rid Danny Jordaan and his complete top structure.Then put people in charge who are there for football nothing else
We don't need a coach right now. We need to get rid of SAFA
It's settled, SAFA is another unnecessary expenditure
