Bafana Bafana icon and Orlando Pirates legend Benni McCarthy is officially back in South Africa.
In fact, he was spotted at OR Tambo making his return to Mzansi moments ago.
Moreover, McCarthy has been linked with a move to Mamelodi Sundowns. Meanwhile, Chiefs could certainly benefit from an attacks coach right now. Furthermore, Amakhosi have a vacancy amongst their coaches right now. So, why is Benni back and what are his plans?
BENNI LANDS IN SA AMIDST SUNDOWNS LINKS, CHIEFS OPENING
McCarthy has been linked with a sensational move to Mamelodi Sundowns.
This follows the departure of Rulani Mokwena and McCarthy’s recent sentiments. The Bucs and Bafana legend wants to become the head coach of his next club.
Meanwhile, Chiefs do not have a specialized striker coach. Additionally, the departure of Fernando Da Cruz has created a vacancy in the Amakhosi technical team. Specifically, the assistant coaching berth.
However, McCarthy’s arrival is not linked with Sundowns or Chiefs. In fact, he is arriving to partner SuperSport for the UEFA Champions League to deliver punditry during the world’s biggest club competition, according to SoccerLaduma.
Thus, a fitting return for the only South African to ever win the UCL.
MCCARTHY NEXT MOVE?
McCarthy has just returned from Manchester United where he was the striker coach.
Interestingly, he even coached Cristiano Ronaldo during his tenure. Finally, he finished on a high with United winning the FA Cup during his last game at the club. Now, he is clueless and he is back in SA.
Thus, sparking speculation over his next move. As mentioned, he has been reportedly linked with Sundonws. However, The Brazilians have not commented on this. Likewise, Amakhosi has not expressed interest in his services. Meanwhile, McCarthy has also been linked with a move to the MLS in the USA.
