Booysen: South Sudan appoint former Banyana Banyana and Houston Dash analyst as head coach

Former South Africa and Houston Dash assistant coach Shilene Booysen has been appointed as the head coach of the South Sudan senior women's national team, on a two-year contract.

The former South Africa goalkeeper started as a Bafana Bafana performance analyst before joining Banyana Banyana in 2014 in the same role, assisting Vera Pauw and later Desiree Ellis.

Booysen, who holds a Caf A License is no stranger to international football as she also worked as an assistant coach to Pauw at America's National Women's Soccer League side Houston Dash.
