A coach linked to Manchester United has addressed rising speculation about a managerial role in South African football.
The former Red Devils coach, who worked under Erik ten Hag, is currently managing the Kenya national team after his appointment in 2025.
He has gained experience at the international level, but he still has aspirations to return to club football.
Recent reports suggest a connection between him and Kaizer Chiefs, a major club in South Africa, as they search for a new head coach.
He has publicly responded to these rumors, with sources stating he didn’t rule out the possibility of taking the role but emphasized that any discussions would require the club to reach out first.
He acknowledged the stature of Kaizer Chiefs and the quality of their squad, but noted that there has been no direct communication so far.
The situation remains one of external interest rather than formal negotiations.
His comments come amid increased attention, partly due to his recent critique of former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
This context has sparked interest in his next career step, especially considering his past success in club management.
Before moving to international coaching, he had a successful tenure at AmaZulu, where he led the team to a second-place finish and secured a spot in continental competitions.
Despite his current role with Kenya, he has expressed a desire to return to club management, highlighting the benefits of working closely with players.
This trend is common among former Manchester United coaches, as seen with Fleetwood Town’s appointment of Matt Lawlor as their permanent manager after an interim period.
For now, the situation is still open, with no formal approach made, but discussions could happen if interest arises.
