Speculation surrounding the future Bafana coach is hotting up, as the new coach is to be announced on Friday. Media, coaches and sport fans have spoken about their favourite to lead the team to the World Cup. Fans also have a strong opinion on the local vs foreign coach debate.
But what do the Bafana players think? Obviously they have remained quiet about the situation. They are professionals, so they will play under whoever is selected. But they are also people and people by nature have preferences. I'm sure they would prefer somebody that knows their individual capabilities and who enjoys a style of football the players are comfortable with. Obviously the coach must be well respected and with the ability to shake things up without reinventing the wheel.
It is these questions that SAFA need to answer when appointing the new coach. The players are the most important stakeholder in this decision. Which coach will bring a smile and a sense of reassurance and which will bring a sense of anxiety or even fear is what SAFA needs to know from the Bafana players.
