News just in on Kick Off that SAFA and Bafana Bafana may well be lining up an enticing deal for PSL coach of the year Gordon Igesund. Being the dad of one of my good mates, and, ex professional Grant Igesund I know fully well the capabilities of the man! After hearing the issues surround current National coach Pitso Mosimane this morning on the radio, I said already to my brother that Gordon is the man for the job! He has won titles and trophies with many sides, but has many times been overlooked when it comes to the Bafana job?
Above: Gordon Igesund lifts the PSL Manager Of The Year award after finishing just 2 points behind league Champions Orlando Pirates! He has done wonders with Moroka Swallows after taking over last season whilst they were sitting drop dead bottom of the table! A big salute from me Gordon, a truly great achievement!
Gordon is currently away in China and it has been said that Pitso was going to be sacked after a string of bad results straight after the 1-1 draw with Ethiopia yesterday. SAFA have waited and appear to be lining up a meeting with the current boss. I highly doubt any other local manager will do a better job with our National side and no one knows the players better than Igesund. I will try and line up an interview with the wizard as soon as he is back. If there are any questions you would like to ask him, please comment on the post below, or, simply give your views on the situation!
Its about fucken time!
I agree brother! He should have been in the mix to take us to the 2010 WC if you ask me… Best coach this Country has seen for the past 15 years!!!
