Barttlet is joining other former Bafana
players like Doctor Khumalo who is the assistant Kaizer Chiefs caretaker,
Thanda Royal Zulu coach Neil Tovey and Bidvest Wits assistant coach. These are former
Bafana players who left a legacy during their careers. They are the last group
that lifted an African Cup of Nations trophy. Can Battlet’s experience bring
smiles to Abafana Bes’thende family?
Barttlet is the second all time leading
scorer behind Benni McCarthy with Bafana as he retired with 28 goals in 74
appearances. His skill on the ball next to the eighteen area will definitely
sharpen the Arrows strikers. He has been sharing his knowledge on Super Disk on
at Super Sport. This time he’s got a different challenge.
Leading a team and playing for a team are
two different tasks. Coaching means you have to account to the team management
for the results of the team. Of course pressure from the supporters and the
media will amount. Barttlet has to take all this and show the world what he is
made of. The last time he got a medal was in 2008 with Kaizer Chiefs and he now
need more as an assistant coach.
Seeing local former players who left a
lasting legacy during their time taking such positions promises a brighter
future for our national team future coaches. Perhaps as they are developing in
local teams one day they will be granted an opportunity to reach sky if they
fail end up on the moon.
Barttlet is one of the former player(s) that
was hardly featured negatively on the media. He is expected to install this to
the young stars at the Golden arrows family.
Free State Stars coach and Bafana Assistant
coach Steve Komphela began his career like this and now he is one of the most respected
local coaches despite the fact that his team failed to book themselves a sport
in the Nedbank Cup final. Will Barttlet make his presence felt in the South
African football fraternity? Only time and experience will tell.
