Pitso Mosimane, who recently rejected down a chance to return to the Bafana Bafana bench, has stated that he would prefer to coach the Malian national team. One of his justifications is that, unlike South Africa, Mali has talented players who can easily play in top European leagues.
Mosimane's career has been quite a colourful one and he's ready for even bigger challenges. With a coaching CV as impressive as his, he actually could stand a chance to coach Mali one day.
