Pitso
Mosimane failed with distinctions to coach the national team
Bafana Bafana failed to qualify for the 2012 AFCON in a most
embarrassing way, because they celebrated thinking we've gone through only to
re-read the rules with four eyes. Then minors in our 2014 World cup qualifying
group, first a dull home draw with Ethiopia. Can you tell me one player from
Ethiopia? And then SAFA decided, it’s time to sing our song another one bites the dust.
“SAFA
Releases Pitso following a string of miserable Results”
 |
| Shame POOR results coach! |
Pitso Mosimane’s reigns as national soccer team coach is
over. SAFA decided to release him following a string of poor results. But I was
left with a cluster of questions un-answered, why did we groom him under
Parreira for such long time? Only to fire him halfway through? How many have we
fired? Where is the problem, SAFA or Bafana coaches, or even players? Have we
done enough as a country to build our football team?-what have we done?
Referring to the Sunday game, how many of our players that
played with their heart out? Except Sundowns duo-Modise and Masenamela, not
even Pienaar. Yes the coach did field matchless fit players Bongani Khumalo and Katlego
Mphela, but what other 9 players did? So clearly we can’t point all fingers to
Pitso, no way. What are other assistance coaches doing?
SAFA roped in Steve Khompela to assist him, but he only sat
on the bench for just 1 game and the next thing coach is gone. Is it fair to
Pitso? Why didn't we give the pair some time and see their true colours
together? I’m not defending him but the problem is not with him, but SAFA
should give us answers. How many South African junior teams that have won a
trophy in the last decade? None, so how can we expect Bafana to be magical
without development?
After 2010 all sort of promises were made for developments,
even Pereira himself advised us, what SAFA has done up to now? Nothing. No
proper reserve league in place, even our players go to Europe only come back
failing. Some of our clubs don’t want release our players to go to Europe and
bet themselves against the best-Chiefs and Sundowns refused to release Khune,
Thsabalala and Mphela respectively. So where is the problem? SAFA or Bafana
coaches?
SAFA only cares about hosting tournaments, than investing in
our team developments. Pitso took SA inside top 30 at one stage-potential is
there but supports is what lacking.
I’m not defending the man, but fact should remain facts. Yes
Pitso you did drop the ball, by leaving red hot Benni McCarthy, Mathebula etc.
Egos did cost you, even when Rodgers withdraws, still you couldn’t call Benni.
Even Joseph’s retirements you could’ve handled it better, you lost a character
in your change room. Why fielding Khumalo and Mphela ahead of full match fit
players? Only you can answer that one, yes big man-you did let yourself down
too with you questionable decisions.
So who is next? Surely this time, it should be Gordon
Igesund, if not-then we hire to fire.
Till next time…
