Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says he was not given a chance to fulfil the vision he had as South Africa coach and his plea to Safa to stay on was ignored.
Mosimane served as South Africa coach between 2010 and 2012, having previously been assistant to Brazilian Carlos Alberto Parreira and Joel Santana for a combined four years.
But following a failure to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, his time at the helm of the Bafana Bafana was up, shattering his bigger target of guiding the team to the 2014 Fifa World Cup.
