Safa is expected to finalise the selection of their new Bafana Bafana coach next Friday when the association's national executive committee meets.
The incoming tactician will be replacing Molefi Ntseki who was recently fired after failing to guide South Africa to the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Meetings held by Safa's technical committee this week have seen a list of candidates being drawn and will be scrutinised by the NEC before settling for one man according to the association's president Danny Jordaan.
