Former South Africa coach Clive Barker says the quality of football displayed by the current Bafana Bafana squad “leaves a lot to be desired” and AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy would be a “breath of fresh air” if appointed to head the national team.
Calls for Molefi Ntseki to step down from his role as Bafana coach are growing louder following Sunday’s 2-0 defeat by Sudan, which meant the country missed out on qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations finals to be hosted by Cameroon in January 2022.
Barker has joined in voicing disapproval of Ntseki's capacity to lead South Africa, a job he was thrust into after the 2019 Afcon finals, when he replaced Stuart Baxter.
