Exclusive: Barker sacking led to the end of Bafana - Fredericks

Former Bafana Bafana midfielder Stanton Fredericks believes the chopping and changing of coaches in South Africa should come to an end if senior national team is to be successful again, and has attributed the nation's slump to the decision to dismiss Clive Barker.

South Africa has had 26 coaching appointments since the re-admission in 1992, and this, according to 'Stiga', has been critical to Bafana's downfall.

Fredericks feels national team coaches should be given at least five years to lay a solid foundation before a lot can be expected from them.
