S/Africans celebrate Keshi as Bafana Bafana coach

Just as Nigerians are coming to terms with the
23 players chosen by Stephen Okechukwu Keshi
to do battle at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil,
South Africans were also celebrating that they
would soon have one of the best African coaches
to tinker their national team – Bafana Bafana,
after the World Cup. eam – Bafana Bafana,
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.
