The former Cape Town City manager was reportedly a target for PSL giants Mamelodi Sundowns, who lost their coach, Rulani Mokwena, to Wydad Athletic Club this summer.
"What's next for me?" he said.
"I think, of course, it's clear the fact that after leaving United, I believe that passion for wanting to be a head coach again brewed through, and I think that is the next step for me.
"So, whether it's to go back to Africa, the African continent, to coach one of the top sides, with the knowledge that I've acquired [over the years], I think, yeah, that would be awesome, to lead a club on the continent and then attempting to make them also one of the powerhouses in the region. But also, to try and succeed and get the final when you compete in the Club World Cup."
It is also said that the South African tactician could move to North America to join a Major League Soccer club.
"That would be the drive to do that, or even the MLS interests me," he added.
"Possibilities like that, I would accommodate because I've got what it takes to mentor a team there, to make players better and to help teams achieve goals that they've maybe not achieved in the last few years with their clubs.
"It's just about obtaining the possibility."
