Cabinet has expressed hope that a new Bafana Bafana coach is appointed soon, following the resignation of head coach Joel Santana.

In a media briefing, government spokesperson Themba Maseko, said cabinet hopes that soccer authorities will do their best to ensure that a new coach is appointed soon.

Santana resigned from the national team on Monday, just eight months before the World Cup. He had come under severe criticism after a string of poor results by the national team.

The South African Football Association Vice-President, Mandla Mazibuko, said earlier this week that the association would move with speed to appoint a new coach for Bafana Bafana.

SAFA’s national executive is expected to meet on Friday to discuss Santana’s replacement.
