Former FC Porto striker Benni McCarthy says whoever comes after Hugo Broos should take Bafana Bafana to the next level.
Despite the Belgian mentor guiding the team to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals, the former Porto striker said the team should be playing in World Cups. While“It’s a good generation of players, a lot of young players breaking through. So it was a massive opportunity for Bafana Bafana , Benni McCarthy told
“They had a group of talented players coming through and they found themselves in a lucrative position to be in the semi-final.” “But there are a little bit of shortages, but you know you accept it because Bafana over the last few years have been nowhere. They have not qualified for any World Cups, they have underachieved quite a lot.“So the fact that they have gone on to the semi-final of Afcon, is good. I think with the current squad, the current generation of players that they have to choose from, they should be there and there about,” McCarthy added.
“I don’t know if they have the right manager, and if not, whichever right man comes in, hopefully, he can take this group of players to the next level.” Benni McCarthy played in two World Cups for Bafana, scoring two in both the 1998 and 2002 tournaments.Cape Town executive deputy mayor Eddie Andrews will run Sunday’s Cape Town Marathon in support of his ‘Soles for Souls’ charity programme.
