Kaizer Chiefs head of scouting Steenbok tipped to replace Tovey as Safa technical director

The tactician, who has a Masters Degree in Sport Directorship from Manchester Metropolitan University, has also worked for Sundowns

Kaizer Chiefs head of scouting Walter Steenbok is reportedly among the favourites to become the new South African Football Association technical director.

The nation's football governing body has been without a permanent technical director since the departure of former Chiefs captain Neil Tovey after his five-year contract expired in June 2020.

Frans Mogashoa, who is Safa's head of coaching education, has been acting in this position since Tovey’s departure, but iDiski Times are now reporting that Steenbok has emerged as a favourite for the job.
