I Won’t Say No To The Super Eagles Job – Pitso Mosimane

Ex Bafana Bafana coach, Pitso Mosimane has come out to say that he would entertain approaches from Nigeria. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he wants to coach at the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations finals, so if he is presented with the opportunity of managing players like Samuel Chukwueze, Osimhen and so on, he would not say no.

Pitso added that the decision will depend on the country’s FA trusting an African coach with the team once again.

His words, “They have a lot of talent; the likes of Samuel Chukwueze, the Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. But talent alone is not enough because if it was only about talent, they would have beaten Lesotho 7-0, but they drew with them. And pound for pound they would have also beaten Zimbabwe.

“So, the job of the coach is to bring confidence, stability, leadership, winning mentality and teamwork within the group.

“The Nigeria job is one I would consider, but it would also depend on whether they want the team to be led by an African? Because the only African coach they had was Stephen Keshi.

“That is also a challenge because there have been a lot of white people on the job; whether we believe in our African coaches like Morocco, Senegal, Algeria and Egypt remains to be seen.

“I envy all those African coaches who were entrusted with the job and maybe take the level higher. But I don’t want to talk too much about the Nigerian job links because there is still a coach there and it’s important that I respect that.”
