Benni McCarthy has agreed in principle to be the next Bafana Bafana coach‚ TimesLIVE is informed‚ however there could still be stumbling blocks to a deal being concluded.
Not least a stumbling block is that the SA Football Association (Safa) have to convince AmaZulu to release their coach‚ which may be difficult as Sandile Zungu‚ the chairman of the high-flying Durban club‚ has said he will not release McCarthy.
First published in the Daily Maverick 168 weekly newspaper.
The puzzle pieces for AmaZulu rising to the upper echelons of South African football are steadily coming together. In the end though, it’s results that will determine the team’s destiny.
AmaZulu, one of the country’s oldest clubs, have never really stamped their authority on South African football – even less so in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) era.
But Sandile Zungu, their new owner who took over from the Sokhela family in October last year, wants to change this.
The Umlazi-born businessman pointed out that he would love to see Usuthu rise to new heights in the next 12 years to become one of the most formidable forces in South African football by 2032, when they will mark their 100th anniversary.
