The national executive committee (NEC) of South Africa informed last week that former coach Gordon Igesund’s contract won’t be renewed when it expires on August 31, 2014, thereby paving way for a national coach who would breathe life into the Bafana Bafana.
The coach who has been penciled down to handle the South African team and turn them into a formidable squad in Africa and the world is current Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi.
Sports Vanguard gathered that Keshi is enjoying a pole position in a field that includes local boy and current South African U-20 and U-23 coach Shakes Mashaba.
‘’Keshi is heads and shoulders above any other coach for the Bafana Bafana job’’, an excited board member of South African Football Association, SAFA, said yesterday. SAFA would not however make the choice of Keshi public because they would not want to disrespect Keshi’s running contract with Nigeria until after the World Cup.
