According to the Football411 website, the former Moroka Swallows coach is currently in preparation ahead of South Africa's qualifying double header next month, against Central African Republic and Ethiopia, and continues the warm-up with a friendly international against Lesotho on Sunday.
And although Igesund has previously lifted four PSL titles with four different teams, as well as masterminding BP Top-8 and SAA Supa 8 (both now the MNT8) successes, the 56-year-old believes next month will prove the most challenging of his entire career.
"June is shaping to be the most important month of my soccer career," he told The Sowetan.
"The next couple of weeks not only loom as a massive challenge for me, but for the soccer-mad country as a whole.
"Imagine being confronted with the prospect that the earliest Bafana could participate in a World Cup would be a distant 2018 in the middle of 2013 already."
Igesund added: "If we beat CAR, Ethiopia and Botswana in our remaining opening group qualifying matches, it's a pretty certain bet we will be making the second qualifying round from which the remaining 10 teams will play for the five World Cup positions designated for Africa."
