Igesund makes Naturena visit
Bafana Bafana head coach Gordon Igesund
visited Kaizer Chiefs late last week to discuss his plans with AmaKhosi mentor
Stuart Baxter.
Igesund is on a countrywide roadshow around
the club with the intention of fostering relationships with the club coaches in
the hope of getting better insight into who is performing.
Igesund was accompanied by his assistant
coaches Thomas Madigage and Serame Letsoaka and met with Baxter, himself Bafana
coach between 2004 and 2006, Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung and the club’s
marketing director Jessica Motaung.
“There will be no one who will wear the
national team jersey without hard work. I will personally work with the
national team coach and advise him on who is working hard. I will be the person
that will speak on behalf of the players,” Baxter said.
Igesund says he hopes that his work with
the clubs will bear fruit for the national team and adds that he will also be
attending team training sessions.
“We will work closely with clubs, and we
will be attending games and also training sessions. We need super fit players
in the national team and it’s up to the clubs to produce them. At times we only
have about four days with them and that is spent on tactical work,” Igesund
said.
