Goal breaks down a few things Baxter needs to change in order for Bafana to be a top side in Africa again
It took the South African Football Association (Safa) over four months to find the right man for the Bafana Bafana job, but when Stuart Baxter was finally unveiled, the association regained the trust and confidence of the public.
Baxter is an experienced coach with a proven track-record, and everyone expects him to succeed in his second stint as head coach of senior national team.
His first stint wasn’t successful as Bafana failed to qualify for the 2006 Fifa World Cup in Germany, but the 63-year-old is wiser now and understands South African players better having worked in the country since 2012 – although he left for a few months to purse his coaching career in Turkey.
