Thabo Senong: Ex-Bafana Bafana assistant coach appointed Lesotho head coach

Former Bafana Bafana assistant coach Thabo Senong has officially been appointed as head coach of the Lesotho senior national team.

Senong joins Likoena after parting ways with the South African Football Association (Safa), who did not renew his contract at the end of the Fifa U20 World Cup two months ago.

The Pimville-born mentor had a successful stint with Amajita, where he qualified for two Fifa World Cup and two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

Amajita took part in the 2016 and 2017 Afcon U20 tournament to book their place in the 2017 and 2019 Fifa U20 World Cup finals, respectively.
