Bafana legend Benni McCarthy won the UEFA Champions League. It was a winding road though for the former Orlando Pirates man who once worked under Jose Mourinho.Jose Mourinho, the once self-proclaimed special one, made sure he signed Benni McCarthy watching the Bafana star in action for Celta Vigo in Spain. He watched Benni in the stands while he played for LaLiga side Celta Vigao, determined to sign the South African at any cost. He made the move official and the rest is history.
LONDON, ENGLAND – NOVEMBER 26: Jose Mourinho, Manager of Tottenham Hotspur reacts during the UEFA Champions League group B match between Tottenham Hotspur and Olympiacos FC at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 26, 2019 in London, United Kingdom. Benni is Bafana’s all-time leading goal-scorer with 31 goals from 80 caps, and he’s the first and only South African footballer to win the UEFA Champions League. There is a certain status attached to an individual with these special accolades.
“Having reportedly turned down a two-year contract from the Red Devils following the expiry of his deal in June, McCarthy is said to have tested the waters with a possible move to the MLS, while talk of a return to the DStv Premiership remained rife,” the report read on Pirates want to bolster their options at the back with a player plus cash offer for Deano van Rooyen.
