Steve, Gordon favourites for Bafana



Gordon Igesund and Steve Komphela are the two final candidates for the Bafana Bafana, SuperSport.com can exclusively reveal.

They will be asked to make a final presentation to the executive committee of the South African Football Association on June 30 before one of them is chosen as the new national team coach.

A Safa source said the pair had been the most impressive of the five candidates who had been asked to present their vision on the future of Bafana Bafana to a panel of the Safa technical committee.

Igesund, Gavin Hunt, Shakes Mashaba and Neil Tovey appeared before the committee last Thursday and Komphela on Monday. He had to delay his appearance because he was caretaker coach for Bafana Bafana in their 3-0 win over Gabon in Nelspruit on Friday night.

The Safa executive committee is expected to chose from one of the two candidates and the name of the new national team coach could be made public immediately after the June 30 meeting.
