Controversy over Bafana coach

Reports have revealed that South African soccer is due to formalise a 30-million rands a year deal to lure England Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson to take Bafana Bafana to the 2010 World Cup. But The Tribune reports that local coaches have responded with mixed reactions to the news. Eriksson will not renew his contract with England and will be available after completing his World Cup duties, despite speculation that he might decide to coach Real Madrid. Gordon Igesund and Jomo Sono are two of the local coaches who have been shortlisted for the job, but a source in England says Safa has identified Eriksson as its number one choice.
