Molefe Ntseki has been named the interim coach for the senior men’s national team.
“He was an assistant. When you have a coach and an assistant coach, you should know that the assistant coach must be the guy to help you. Molefe can do that, he knows what’s happening there so let’s see,” said Mosimane.
“He is a good guy, and a very good friend of mine. He is a very knowledgeable guy. We don’t have a coach and if you say interim, then it is okay.”
With Bafana’s next match being scheduled exactly a month away as they will be playing against Mauritius or Sao Tome in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Mosimane says Ntseki should considered for the job if he takes care of the side.
“But what if he is an interim and he makes it? Give him the job maybe. It is not about the big name. It is about the coach who makes the team play, that’s it. It is good progression for Bafana,” said Mosimane.
