Gordon Igesund inevitably named as Bafana Bafana coach.

It came as no surprise as the South African Football Association (SAFA) announced the appointment of Gordon Igesund as the new Bafana Bafana coach in Johannesburg on Saturday 30th June 2012. He was apparently handed a two year performance based contract: "I feel very honoured and privileged to be in charge of an asset like the national football team," Igesund said at the press conference at Safa House.

Does anyone remember when the majority of South African football fans cried for Igesund's appointment as Bafana Bafana coach? I do, but our football association made it all seem like their own brilliant idea; taking this whole process through a selection criteria which we all knew its outcome beforehand, hilarious! Gordon Igesund became Bafana Bafana coach long before his "official" appointment, and I am more than certain that no one can argue this fact. I feel sorry for poor Steve after proving that he has a certain degree of ability to make some positive changes in our national team as the head coach. Better luck next time Steve.

Let us all hope that Gordon will take us to the promised land as he has a mountain higher than Himalaya to climb. SAFA expects him to at least reach the semi-final of the African Cup of Nations which we will be hosting next year. Good luck Gordon!
