SA football will not strengthen its culture if it does not give more opportunities to qualified coaches from within the country, and while clubs continue to hire foreign coaches with questionable credentials, ex-Al Ahly assistant coach Cavin Johnson has said.
Johnson, back in SA having left Al Ahly after a rollercoaster year assisting Pitso Mosimane, told TimesLIVE the example set by the Cairo giants’ largely SA technical staff taking charge of the biggest club in Africa demonstrates the potential of this country’s coaches.
Johnson said working in Egypt has broadened his horizon on taking future coaching jobs, where his aim will not just be to achieve for a club, but to make a difference strengthening SA football. “The people who work in Egypt have to be qualified or have a track record. The Al Ahly coach before Mosimane, René Weiler, won the league in Belgium with Anderlecht.”
“A lot of our players feel inferior when they cannot explain themselves in English to a coach. But they do understand Zulu or Afrikaans, for example. “It goes to another completely different type of thinking that says the diversity in our culture in terms of what our clubs and coaches are doing, that could be our problem.
