Benni McCarthy dreams of taking Bafana Bafana to the World Cup

Former Bafana Bafana and FC Porto striker Benni McCarthy has reiterated he would jump at the opportunity to coach the South Africa national team.

The 42-year-old mentor said coaching any national team is the biggest job because there he would have the chance to guide them to the Fifa World Cup and possibly win continental titles.

McCarthy was one of the local coaches tipped to take over from Stuart Baxter soon after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt, but the South African Football Association (Safa) opted for current coach and former assistant Molefi Ntseki.
