'Parreira will be re-appointed'

Johannesburg - Information emanating from SAFA House indicates that Carlos Alberto Parreira will be named as the Bafana Bafana coach after the governing body's executive committee meeting on Friday.

Parreira will replace Joel Santana who parted ways with the association earlier this week.

The Brazilian is expected to start his second spell with the team after spending 15 months from January 2007 to April 2008 in the position before resigning in order to return to his native country to be by his wife's side after she was diagnosed with cancer.

This was confirmed to Football365.co.za by a highly-placed source within the SAFA executive.

"Parreira will soon be announced as the new national coach," said the source.

"He will take over proceedings until the end of the World Cup. The association wanted a coach who was very familiar with the team."

It is also reported that Santana has pocketed a R4,2 million "golden handshake" from the association and expected to leave the country before the end of next week.

These people do not know what they are doing. the man they want to reemploy ran away when he realized he is not gonna qualify for the Afcon. Wont his wife get sick again, this time a month before the world cup begins.

If it's important to save money, we should probably not bring Santana. If it's more important BB to do well, Parreira is the solution.

Another million rand Brazillan, shoot me! What is wrong with our SA coaches SAFA? Why cant we get a local coach/es and revamp the whole national team with new players (comparing them with other international players they cant even run to save their lives)?
Moshon10/22/2009 9:25 AM
BafanaBafana don't need a foreign coach to be successfull, all they need is confidence,pride, patience , local coach and faith from all South Africans. There is nothing sophisticated that a local guy can't do. All these issues about local coach lack of techiniques,international experience are not gona stand in the way for the local solution,style,flair,character.
AMON MUBAIWA10/21/2009 10:08 PM
Perreira is history. Give others a chance. If SAFA is under the impression that no local coach can lead Bafana Bafana, then i am recommending one coach, provided you pay me a commision. Try Sunday Mhofu Chidzambwa from across Limpopo at a reasonable salary.
amon mubaiwa10/21/2009 9:52 PM
i dont blame bafana bafana the bigest problem with rsa soccer is the administration. what a shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sal Dbn10/21/2009 8:56 PM
GORDON INGESUND has an excellent track record & knows SA players capabilities. A coach needs man management and tactical acumen. That what successful teams are made of. Players are half the equation. No PERREIRA as he will share his salary with JOEL SANTANA (they are buddies!). Still time for a team to gel by having a well-planned camp. SAFA , please don't embarass the nation.
Waste of Money and Time10/21/2009 6:06 PM
@Tman. You see you did not answer any of my questions. Are coaches judged on progress or results? So what is the use of experience if you cant produce results? What is it that we as South Africans see in Perreira that his countrymen (Brazil) don’t see, because they fire him left right and centre because he keeps on failing. What is it he is going to bring in 8 months that he did not bring in his 17 Month in Mzantsi? Is his wife still alive? Our local football coaches do not need any training from the rejects of Brazil. Since you like stats, out of all the coaches who coached our National team, these two Brazilians have the worst record ever! Perreira keeps on failing big time, you cant judge him on what he did in 1994. What is he currently doing with his experience now? Why is he jobless? He must just retire now.
Jaydee10/21/2009 5:20 PM
This is driving me nuts, I'm telling you!!!!! SAFA would really need to catch a wake-up if they go ahead with this.
Tman10/21/2009 5:08 PM
@George B. I don't know where you get that. I never said the rest of the world is wrong and I am right as a matter of fact I am not interseted in answering that question (if it is asked that is). What I am put forward, in case you haven't notice, is my take on Pareira's return. For your own sake I would advice you not to let your emotion cloud your judment. As for Mr Waste money and time, I don't see the point of this example of coaching for 17 month and losing all games. If my memory serves me well, Mr. Pareira didn't lose all his games. May you should use that example against Mr. Santana, he probably came close to that stats. As far as planning for the future is concern, the presence of Pitso as assistant is doing just that. His being there gives him an opportunity to tap into Mr. Pareira's experience, which in my experience is better than having to rediscover the wheel. Of course he can always blend that knowledge with his own talent. Lastly, as much as we would like to train our local coach we would also like to put up a good show next year.

darren burke10/21/2009 4:16 PM
good local coaches are rubbish. they know nothing of international football. how many could manage over seas?? none, thats because they are rubbish. you might be good in sa but that means nothing on the international scene. you need fifa badges to even be a assistant coah for big countries, none of our coaches have one! they would pass the test!
George B10/21/2009 4:02 PM
@Tman so you want to say the rest of the world is wrong and you are right??Soccer comes a long way and until people like u and SAFA start using their brains we will never be a winning team.Go head and blow the vuvuzela for Pereira..and then come talk to me after 2010
Waste of money and time10/21/2009 3:52 PM
@Tman. The 42% is what every coach is judged on (including the failure of taking us to 2010 AFCON). You cannot coach for 17 months and lose all your games and claim that there is progress. This guy cost to the country is more than R3 million a month (fact). To me this guy is average and he will not bring any noticeable difference. He stated it himself that he only want to coach in the world cup (host nation), so anything that happens after that, he does not care and he will probably retire. Tell me what progress is he going to bring in 8 Months? We need to start looking far beyond 2010, to do that a local coach needs to be in charge now! We need to learn from our mistake and take the country forward not backwards. You know what every coach in the world is judged by results, why should he be different?

This is ridiculous, we might as well bring Michael Jackson back to perform, can't happen and shouldn't happen, and yet we want Carlo's Alberto Parreira back...... the next thing we will hear is that Nelson Mandela is standing for elections again......
@Tbo10/21/2009 3:12 PM
lmao..... We shud remember when we went to the AFCON with Perreira ho many goals we scored ( 0 ). And with Jomo under similar circumstances.....? (AFCON with Jomo)
Mpho10/21/2009 3:09 PM
if they really do that then I will know that this New administration is a stupid as the old one.
No-Worry10/21/2009 3:05 PM
I'm not worried at all. Pareirra will suffer the embarrasment of being fired just one or two months before the kick-off of the World Cup. When other coaches pack their bags for South Africa, he'll be packing his back to Brazil, ashamed and angry.
MK10/21/2009 3:01 PM
Thanks SAFA, you are making the right call!!! SAFA is full of visionaries, thanks guys for building African football.

STanton10/21/2009 2:30 PM
Can someone please Kick SAFA in the A$$ . Please appoint a Local coach , one who has the skill and understanding of our players. There must be no language barrier excuses . Appoint someone like Clive Barker who has had success in the past with our national squad or Gavin Hunt who is making Huge headway in our local premiership. It saddens me that SAFA will not give our Local talent a Chance . Local at the Rugby Squad of SA the Coach is local and the Team is a Huge Success !!!!!
Sir Alex10/21/2009 2:21 PM
South Africa should make way for a worthy team in ithe 2010 WC. Your country is also enough of a joke, you don't need to push it. On the other hand you could buy some good white players with the money you are donoring to Brazil. Same thing, I guess
Tman10/21/2009 1:55 PM
It seems some people are confusing progress with success. Obvious just defining progress, or success whatever you want to call it, by high school arithmatics is misleading. There are lot of things that are not included in that simple equation. You have to look at how they lost, whether they are making any improvement from game to game (or overall), the confidence level and I am sure you will agree with me those things are not reflected in your 42% success rate and by the way that value is just a statistical average. It would be much better if you can show the distribution with time, you might find that the poor performance was in the begining of Pareira's term and this has improved steadily with time.

Of course Parreira will be rehired. What do you expect? It takes incompetent fools (SAFA) to hire an incompetent fool.
Waste of money and time10/21/2009 1:07 PM
@Tman. Pereira Won 9 games, lost 6 games and drew 6. So out of 21 games he coached Bafana, he only 9. Do the Math, its 42% success rate. Is that progress? On top of that he brought us Satana and he was just fired for poor performance in brazil after the team he coached was relegated.
Lungi10/21/2009 1:05 PM
uPerreira akasiyo isolution. Sidinga uCoach wasekhaya, emzansi. Kanti futhi mangase uMokoena no Modise no Tshabalala baphume kwi squad ingabonakala into eyenziwayo. I solution yeskhashana, akuthathwe i under 20 imele icountry.

this is a joke,is SAFA not confident about South African coaches?how do u expect these boys to win games while the people who know South African football are not being considered,funny! neh!
spikiri10/21/2009 12:57 PM
We'll burn down SAFA if this is true and we won't be behind Bafana Bafana in 2010, those mickey mouses won't have any support. SAFA dont be stupid man u twits.
Emmanuel10/21/2009 12:54 PM
Mr Nemadandane please appoint a local coach, don't make a mistake of appointing Mr Pareira who failed us to qualify Afcon in Angola.After realising that he can't make it he resign by telling us that his wife is ill.Please appoint our local coach in order restore confidence amongs South Africans
safa idiot10/21/2009 12:53 PM
this is the time to employ a local coach, safa must start thinking beyond the nose. we want some one who will be emotionally attached to bafana, when a local coach is doing bad even his wife and kids will complain..stuff safa and the brazilian idiots
Mystery10/21/2009 12:50 PM
Why are we stuck with these 2 expensive Brazilians. Easy someone is taking a commission on the 1.5m per month, and this will continue. Same as the 30m commissions awarded in the past. Performance, skill and competance are no longer wanted in SA, only easy riches.
Ron10/21/2009 12:50 PM
Once again the goons at the top show how thick they actually are .It is amazing how they keep on making diabolical decisions .Why worry about the huge waist of funds its the same with every other gov. department ,spend as much as you like because no one is accountable for overspending .You just climb on this gravy train and the tax payer will cough up.
Bereng10/21/2009 12:47 PM
I really hope and that this will remain just that, a rumor. Just the thought of Parreira taking over as Bafana Head coach is depressing enough not to mention the sight of this man. Mr/Ms Editor I do not think this “English” is doing justice to my emotions let me revert to Sesotho; Ka Sesotho re re ngwana mahana a jwetswa o bona ka madi ho rotha, mme re boele re re e kguptjwa e le maoto mane. Empa jwale SAFA yona e bapala ka maikutlo a ma Afrika borwa. Re se refetuhile diTsheisa ho baditjhaba, ha holo jwang ha babang babona baipitsa maAfrika borwa ha ho le monate empa ba tjhetjhella morao ha ho le hobe. Xhosa; bantu baseMzantsi Afrika ndiyatsinga iBafana sele ifanelwe yimithandazo ngoku. Ubukumkani, ubungcwalisa naMandla kananjalo zezika bawo. Mr/Ms Editor just remind the president of SAFA that we or should I say I’m not a South African by choice I was born and raised in this country. I therefore do not have any other National soccer team besides Bafana, I would really like to rally behind this team through thick and thin but my patience like that of many south Africans is really wearing thin. Let SAFA get its house in order and put the proper structure in place to administer this team before it’s too late.
schabir 10/21/2009 12:45 PM
yet another failure does safa know gore this man was fired after almost religating a team he coached when he left this beloved land himself and jomo sono cant be an option they are failures eish safa madoda
waga10/21/2009 12:44 PM
Sory Parreira) it's time for local coaches to take over Bafana Bafana to the world cup, i think Lucas Radebe his the best

Fear not my beloved people, these SAFA idiots will feel my presence. Gonna mobilise my stranded Standerton comrades and lead them to the SAFA headquarters, they'll burn down the whole place down to get our way.
POST MY COMMENTS PLEASE10/21/2009 12:41 PM
SAFA DOES NOT HAVE THE SOUTH AFRICANS AT HEART, THIS IS LUDICROUS, HOW MUCH MORE ARE THEY GOING TO PAY PARREIRA, THESE BRAZILIANS ARE COMING TO GET RICH HERE, NO WONDER THE PLAYERS HAVE LOST ZEAL TO REPRESENT THEIR COUNTRY
GIDAH10/21/2009 12:36 PM
This is rubbish what SAFA is doing, they are taking us back instead forward. What have this foreigner coaches achive for us? still SAFA continue to re-deploy them, this organisation is wasting our tax payers money. The worse part is that the so called Parreira has been recently sacked by his local team in Brazil, what do u call that. We demand our local coach finish and klaar, it's better to lose with our local coach in the WC than these useless foreigner coaches who came here to pocket our money and go!
Bernard10/21/2009 12:35 PM
SAFA and the Bafana players are useless. They should be replaced immediately. Let the under 21 side represent us at the world cup. They cannot do worse than lose every game as BB are doing?????

Stuff you SAFA u clueless twits. U never learn anything.
Tman10/21/2009 12:28 PM
I would like to differ with everyone on this one. I agree, Pareira let the country down when he resign. But people must look at the progress he was making when in charge. Most of the players playing now are the very same players he had during his tenure (let alone the assistants), so indeed he is familiar with them and MOST IMPORTANTLY there will be familiar with his tactics, strategies, methods etc. At this late stage you don't want to bring someone new who is going to try and implement his new ideas. Considering the time left, any positives that can be salvaged from the previous friedlies (irrespective of who was in charge and the outcome) should be pursuit. I am sure Mr. Pareira must have watched those games and armed with the knowledge of the players and the two assistants, he should be able to put the past games experience in to good use. Depending on how you look at it, the reunification of Pareira and the two assistant (who must have learned something from the friendlies under Santana) and players will provide some form of continuity. That is provided he gave them a bigger role to play. The only question mark, is what guarantee do we have that he won't dish us again?
nigel10/21/2009 12:27 PM
Ok so they bring Perrira back after wasting millions & 8 months on an unknown foreign coach that can't communicate. We still have a team that is unmotivated or not hungry at best, & useless, lazy, uncommitted at worst. Either way, things aren't looking good for the team prospects, lets just hope they dont screw up the event as well. Talk about incompetence.
benny10/21/2009 12:25 PM
Is SAFA so stupid that they dont learn from their mistake. Carlos only after money.How much did they pay him when he was leaving. If we hire him and the wife get sick how much hand shake will cost South African more than R4 milllion. Let fire the whole SAFA office and i will be the president and the next coach will be Given Hunt.
Hero Nakamura@Hedgehog10/21/2009 12:24 PM

MOSES10/21/2009 12:20 PM
PLEASE SAFA TAKE PITSO MOSIMANE OR GAVIN HUNT AS A SOUTH AFRICAN COACH, THEY KNOW OUR CULTURAL VALUES AND MORALS AND CUSTOMS! THEY HAVE MISSION AND VISSION FOR OUR COUNTRY. NO SOMEONE FROM SOMEWHERE CAN GO AND BUILD AN IMAGE FOR OTHERS, NEVER! SAFA COMMITTEE THINK TWICE
Vusi10/21/2009 12:18 PM
Please SAFA forget about Parreira he's a spent force!!! what if his wife fell ill again!!! let us go for a local coach. Gavin Hunt is ready, willing and able!!
Mageze10/21/2009 12:17 PM
S-A-F-A why do u lie to us?there is no new SAFA that will do things differently..thats absolute rubbing and leaders must come to their senses and live to our expectations.IF Pereira is back..then there is no New SAFA.I dnt think these people will ever learn.
Chiefhiwaa10/21/2009 12:17 PM
Oh Come on now...same same guy who refered us to Santana? Just how much does he care about SA Football, and foremost, just how much does SAFA care about SA Football? Well, if he's going to be appointed with everyone complaining like this then no change will be done.....We need a South African Coach who will drive the passion of the players as an inherent character....South African National Team, "Brazilian Coach"? Foreigner......let me stop.

Raymond Hack10/21/2009 12:16 PM
Parreira was actually here to assess what muti Bafana needs and he left to dig it in Brazil and Satan's appointment was just a decoy. Now that he found it he is back in the country to make magic with Bafana. We will win the world cup comrades, moenie worry nie.

This qualifies as the dumbest thing ever and must top the Guinness book of records!!! What will happen if Parreira's wife gets sick again, this time @ 1 month b4 WC 2010? These SAFA idiots must grow up & stop waisting time and money.
MOSES10/21/2009 12:15 PM
WAT IF HIS WIFE GET ILL AGAIN? OR TWO 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE WORLD CUP. PLEASE SAFA, THE MISTAKE DOES NOT REPEAT IT SELF, BUT U WILL BE THE ONCE TO BE BLAIMED AND U WILL BE WASTING THE COUNTRYS' MONEY

Come on we keep taking Brazillian rubbish. Is there some love relationship / affair between SAFA and Brazil coaches that we dont know about? Bum chums or what? How do we hire and then fire this same man and pay him out millions and then ask him to come back. This goes against any labour laws. The Government should say no to him.
safa idiot10/21/2009 12:13 PM
exit oliphants enter nematandani but carry over the same idiotic mind set. this guys surely just want to waste money. R4.2 M golden handshake..for what? a local coach will be much better at least he will be spending the money in SA. we all know that banana banana will not win even a single game.they will be there just to honor the tournament

I dont belive this!!!!! SAFA is wasting OUR money. R4.2 million goes to 1 person & that money will be invested in another country yet they want to re-employ another Brazillian. SAFA must get their act together. STOP WASTING TAX PAYERS MONEY!!!!
LPG10/21/2009 12:11 PM
Now here we go again. We need a coach with experience, not Gavin Hunt, not Clive Barker and Gordon Igesund, Jome shouldn't even be considered. None of these guys are good enough to turn things around with a short space of time. You idiots need to realise that there's a bigger picture and it's playing well at the WC. Stop being emotional and experts because your're not. Your responsibility right now is to make sure that BB have all the support they need and not stupid comments that will not add any value. United we stand, apart we fall. A nation with no passion is a nation with no future, Support SAFA and stop making noise. Just like that.
LPG10/21/2009 12:10 PM
Now here we go again. We need a coach with experience, not Gavin Hunt, not Clive Barker and Gordon Igesund, Jome shouldn't even be considered. None of these guys are good enough to turn things around with a short space of time. You idiots need to realise that there's a bigger picture and it's playing well at the WC. Stop being emotional and experts because your're not. Your responsibility right now is to make sure that BB have all the support they need and not stupid comments that will not add any value. United we stand, apart we fall. A nation with no passion is a nation with no future, Support SAFA and stop making noise. Just like that.
MOSES10/21/2009 12:09 PM
PLEASE SAFA IN THEIR HOUSE/MEETINGS COULD THEY PLEASE GIVE THE PROUDE SOUTH AFRICAN COACHES A CHANCE TO PROVE THEIR INNOCENT IN THE COUNTRY! PITSO MOSIMANE OR GAVIN HUNT. PARREIR'S WIFE IS STILL ILL N SUFFERING FROM HER CANCER
George B10/21/2009 12:08 PM
I give up...it is fine..one day intelligent useful people will rule SAFA and we will be relieved of this senseless people who enjoy doing things their way.They dont care about SA but yet they want us to believe in them.Oh...no it is hard to be a proud South African.I quit soccer for Rugby
Thembalabantubonke10/21/2009 12:06 PM
SAFA will be SORRY: I am taking bets on what reason Parreira will use to leave us before the World Cup. My money is on My grandchildren miss me:
kgotso moepye10/21/2009 12:05 PM
can please s.a.f.a learn about wrong and rights we want local coach please mr president lets forget brazillians mzanzi azania
Skota10/21/2009 12:04 PM
Mr editor,please send all these comments to Safa bfo they mess up again by re-appointing this coward(parreira). WHY,WHY,WHY must we distrust our local potential coaches and trust these clueless,mediocre coaches? DO NOT HIRE A FOREIGN COACH THIS TIME SAFA,PLEASE TORHO..
concered10/21/2009 12:03 PM
The only reason that Perreira would come back is because he is unemployed. Amongst the many reason he should not come back is his referral of Santana - he gave us a dud! Whay joy it would be for Africa to host the WC, and the host team to be coached by its own. I sincerely believe we need to hire a local coach because it's the tight thing to do, we need passion and love for SA in the coach, someone that will be able to march together with the players. Pitso and Gavin/Igesund would be my preferred pair.
daniel10/21/2009 12:02 PM
Who ever thought doctors will one day boycott.I won't be amazed if people start boycotting bafana's matches due to decisions like this.
Waste of Money for nothing10/21/2009 12:01 PM
Pereira was actually getting R3million (including 40% tax and exclude accommodation and meals) a month from SAFA. If you do the math, during the time he was here he got plus or minus R50 million. For what? He failed to take us to the 2010 African cup of nations and dumped use on the last game of the qualifications (even if Santana lost that last game, we would have not qualified anyway – Thanks to Pereira). If his wife has cancer as he claims, then did they cure her cancer now? They will probably give him R4m this time. SAFA is a joke!
thabiso10/21/2009 11:59 AM
Yebo atleast he knows the players
Tbo10/21/2009 11:58 AM
Good morning!!! If this doesn't show you that your country is sick, stay blind forever... (This was a dialogue between Parrera and Santana) Parrera: Dude stop sitting around and starving in Brazil, there's a place in Africa with plenty of moola and the football association is a bunch of retards who will pay you whatever you want and believe whatever you say. Santana: How much are we talking about? Parrera: Around R1.5 mil a month.... Santana: You lie....get out of here! I thought Africa was a third world continent? Parrera: Yep thats what I thought too, but hey these guys are nut case, they are so gullible its not funny, and they think they are rich.. Santana: You getting me excited now, but how will I get my hands on those riches? Parrera: Mmmmmhhh..... how well do you know soccer cousin? because i was thinkin you can come take my place as a coach of their national team, i miss home now and I've had my share already.. Santana: I watch it every now and then. Parrera: Ahhhh, thats enough.. we can even say you've coached a small local team before and I will recommend you cousin... Santana: Man we talking about a national team here, not just any local team!! Parrera: Dont worry cousin leave all that to me, I told you thats a banana republic. Santana: But dont you have a contract with them already? Parrera: So what? I can always say my wife is sick and needs my support.. Santana: Oh one last thing.... I just met this woman I really like her, I cant just cant leave here.. Parrera: Can she speak English? Santana: She watches Santa Babra and she said to me this morning "happy morning" Parrera: Great!!! she can go to SA with you.. we'll say she's your interpreter, she can also earn some money from SAFA. Santana: You kidding me... it this country soo bad? Parrera: A circus I tell you... Santana: what if I want to come back home before my contract expires? Parrera: Dont worry you will not stay there for long, no one ever does, the team loses all the time and the public blames the coach... Santana: So these guys cant even play? Parrera: Come watch this video... you see this weakest link? "Aron Mokeona the gate way" he is the captain. should I say more? Santana: Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha... let me go do my visa and passport right away.
Free State10/21/2009 11:56 AM
Brazil thinks these Coaches are not good enough and we in SA think that we know Brazillian skills better. We really are thinkers.
lolo10/21/2009 11:56 AM
All that he did when he was here last time, was to complain about how bad our players were. I can see he is already complaining about our lack of goal scorers. Please god i hope this is not true.
Ju-who??10/21/2009 11:55 AM
Malema is an idiot!!
shakes10/21/2009 11:54 AM
hear we go again, you cannot do the same mistake again and again. when is this going GOING TO STOP?
Tshepo10/21/2009 11:52 AM
Gees! SAFA, where do they come from. Every new SAFA EXCO is getting dumber and dumber...Julius, please save us from this misery...these guys are amazingly stupid!...
SP Giles10/21/2009 11:48 AM
A very uninteresting and unimaginative choice, if ,indeed, it shall be the case.
Mamaile10/21/2009 11:48 AM
if the so called brazillian coach who failed to perform also at his club level where he was recently fired due to strings of losses is appointed. the loving soccer supporters would not hev any other option but to bycott all bafana bafan games including demostration on and during the world cup. that will pararelly cuppled with a vote of no confidence on the new safa leadership. please assist us south african by appointing a local coach. bafana bafana would be where is known to be. finish and klaar. sis pareira
GeePMB10/21/2009 11:46 AM
Hope it's not the case. He came here once at an exhorbitant monthly salary then upped and left when the going here got tough and used his wife's illness as an excuse. SAFA need their collective heads read if they are going to bring him back. Everyone in SA from the sceptics to the adoring fans have said don't bring him back and to use a local coach but again, if this is true, then SAFA will ignore the very people who they expect to watch the team play. To my mind, the whole existing technical team shold be fired along with Santana. Gavin Hunt should coach, bring in former players like Radebe, Fish and Tovey as backroom boys and give Bafana Bafana a complete makeover. Local coaches and former players have the passion, highly paid foreigners are only in it for the money. At 1,5 million a month you could pay 5 people instead of one and they would gladly accept the responsibility of nuturing the national team!

Le Phalaza de TT10/21/2009 11:44 AM
Haai nor, haai nor. Next thing Santana will be reappointed again if the wife gets ill...R4.2m for a golden handshake, the clown is rich damn...
Oompat10/21/2009 11:44 AM
Nigga please when will this baboons ever learn how to run an administration, what a shame on South Africa
Paddy10/21/2009 11:42 AM
SAFA would be better off listening to Julius Malema for once!! I sincerely hope the person who leaked this information to the press was smoking his socks!!
Sox10/21/2009 11:42 AM
SAFA committe is bunch of useless idiots like BB they deserve each other, anyone who's still support Bahana is dumb!
unknown_coach10/21/2009 11:42 AM
there is nothing we can do now as SAFA had already made a decission...now lets all focus on getting behide the national team and give them all the support they need.
Sick and Tired10/21/2009 11:40 AM
What did we expect? Same people who hired Santana are now deciding on the future of the new coach. Nothing changed from Safa, same people, only one person left and they expect us to believe that it’s a new Safa committee. Its time for the people of Mzansi to take a stand and show that South African Football Association is there to represent the people of South Africa, not to represent their selfish needs. Watch this space….
Puso10/21/2009 11:40 AM
Crazy Safarians, why cant they appoint a local coach and stop fantasizing about Bafana playing like brazallians. it wont happen in this century.
Ndim10/21/2009 11:39 AM
WHERE IS JULUIS MALEMA? Boy this is the only time I back him 100%, Juju, I will cancel my Nedbank account need be, I will shoot for Msholozi, anything, Carlos Alberto Parreira is taking us for a ride with SAFA f%$^%&^%

Elvis10/21/2009 11:39 AM
All but one of the last 10 games played by Bafana were predictable: We had no right to believe we would beat Brazil, Spain (2 games) Germany, Serbia, and we did beat Poland (good one),Madagascar (expected), New Zealand (expected) and drew with Iraq (unknown). We can only complain about the Iceland result. SAFA must stop there shit. Santana has given Bafana good opposition and none of the results have been embarrasing.
bombay10/21/2009 11:37 AM
SAFA, South African Fools Association, going around in circles, guys is like if u hire him we will not exit in the first round. Already i don't any confidence in the new Fools management,
JuJu10/21/2009 11:36 AM
What a bunch of Palookas..who the hell gave these guys at SAFA the authority to try to even run a footballing association. 1st they give themselves millions in bonuses for securing TV rights, then they waste 50 mil on 2 useless coaches, NOW they bring the one useless bugger back. as we say in Portuguese voces tenho maluka na cabesa - you all mad in the head
Worried10/21/2009 11:33 AM
I really hope this is not true! How can they do the same mistake twice? What will happen if his wife is sick again before the WC? SAFA new leadership must start using their heads and avoid making the same stupid mistake the previuos regime made. Go local and keep things simple! Finish and klaar!
mark10/21/2009 11:32 AM
How can someone be familiar with the team after 15MONTHS!! in his native country!! There are plenty of coaches in our PSL. Any coach from the top four teams can coach Bafana.
zuchero10/21/2009 11:31 AM
an insult to the local talented coaches. here they go again the morons at safa house.when will this country ever stop being clowns in the eyes of the world, sis!
Richard Ramudzuli10/21/2009 11:30 AM
I am so ashamed!!!!! Perreie again! its like spoornet rehiring Mandla Mthembu.
rock10/21/2009 11:29 AM
safa is a never ending nightmare.god help us all
Philly10/21/2009 11:29 AM
SAFA must axed as well. They are getting more stupid
Smanga Zulu10/21/2009 11:29 AM
Has Parreira's wife mariculously recovered?
lebohang 10/21/2009 11:27 AM
What a let down. Will these people ever learn?
Tazz10/21/2009 11:27 AM
We don't want any brazilian in Bafana Bafana anymore they failed.SAFA we don't need him we won't support him.Let him safe his health and her Wife health.SAFA don't bring back that Rio wasted rubbish back in SA.Local Coach finish and Klaar.otherwise we will repalce him with our own coach two days before world cup
mikeh10/21/2009 11:27 AM
The SAFA administrators clearly have the same level of talent as the players.
Mike10/21/2009 11:27 AM
What an absolute farce. Why not appoint a local coach who will be cheaper, and at least understands the local culture and languages. We must stop blaming the coach. Even Fergie would struggle with the poor level of skills in SA. Get back to basics and start coaching the young players and build from the bottom.
Tatolo10/21/2009 11:26 AM
What difference will Parreira bring to Bafana....There will be the same players that played under Santana....Is Parreira going to change his technical team.....I would really go for a local coach who will just swallow his pride and work with other local coaches to beef up his technical team..This will stop us South African to be viewed like a banana Republic.
Ricardo10/21/2009 11:19 AM
I can't flippen believe it this is really a joke now, Also fire the whole damm team and let players that are proud of their country play i'm sure you will get better soccer out of them
Raggy10/21/2009 11:19 AM
Appoint Gareth Southgate, he just got sacked from 'Borough.
sTEVEd10/21/2009 11:18 AM
Won't they ever learn. Same mistakes over and over and over again. Who is paying this clowns' salary?
Hedgehog10/21/2009 11:17 AM
WTF? How does the saying go: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
lolo10/21/2009 11:14 AM
Whats the deal with SAFA and these Brazilians. Whats wrong with the guys at SAFA.
molatelo10/21/2009 11:11 AM
i dont belive SAFA wats going on with the brazillian coaches?
Boris10/21/2009 11:10 AM
And the circus continues! R 1,4 million per month to look after a bunch of prima donna's.
Mampela10/21/2009 11:10 AM
Absolutely ludicrous.There is clearly no vision in SAFA house.
