Santana is no more, and so the speculation surrounding his dismissal/sacking will unfold over the next week or so. There will also be frantic speculation on who will succeed Santana in the Bafana hotseat. As I mentioned on my previous post, South Africans never really warmed to coach Santana and so many will rejoice that he has finally gone. I'm very nervous about this situation as I feel that SAFA could be shotting themselves in the foot once again.
Bafana are in bad shape due to players warming their respective clubs benches, injuries and the general form of the entire squad. No coach can turn this team into winners in the short-run. So I do have sympathy for Santana. The danger for SAFA comes in the form of who replaces Santana and that's the million dollar question on everybodies mind. If its Carlos Alberto Parriera great, if not, South Africa will be a laughing stock come the World Cup.
There is no time for a new coach to come in and create a winning structure before the World Cup besides Parriera. This stage is too big for a local coach. So we wait and see what SAFA has instore for us come the next few days. I cannot wait.
What do you think?
