Mzansi football legend Benni McCarthy said it would be challenging to turn down Kaizer Chiefs if the Soweto club offered him the role of coach next season.

Benni speaks about Chiefs in the tweet below:
Speaking on Radio 947, Benni, who celebrated United's FA Cup victory, said he was always a fan of Amakhosi.
McCarthy said:
"Not many coaches in the world say no to institutions. Man United is an institution. Real Madrid is an institution. Bayern Munich is an institution. It's a great club. It's a club that I'll always have a lot of love for. Because it's my local team, my team in South Africa that I supported as a kid. Loved the Black and Gold, everything Kaizer Chiefs."
