JOHANNESBURG – AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu says that coach Benni McCarthy has always been happy at the club, instead it was the “greediness of agents” that fuelled the rumours linking him to Bafana Bafana's top job., putting an end to a wide range of speculations linking McCarthy to the national team head coaching role following an impressive stint at AmaZulu.
“I am happy that this matter has been put to rest once and for all. From AmaZulu's point of view, it was absolute nonsense. It was an interruption that we didn’t need this time in our campaign,” Zungu told IOL after Broos’ unveiling on Wednesday. McCarthy has done exceptionally well since assuming the club’s hot seat. In just five months, the 43-year-old Bafana's all time top goal scorer has turned Usuthu from perennial relegation candidates to serious title challengers as they are second on the standings.
