Tlale on Ntseki: We have to support our own in South Africa

Former South Africa goalkeeper John Tlale has backed Molefi Ntseki to succeed after he was handed the job on a permanent basis.

Tlale was part of the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations winning squad. Although names such as Pitso Mosimane, Benni McCarthy, Steve Komphela and Gavin Hunt have been linked with the job, the former Mamelodi Sundowns keeper believes it is time to support local coaches.

“I worked with him in the past and I know him as someone who is very hungry and dedicated. I think he is someone that learns quickly and I believe he can do well," Tlale told Goal.
