In the interview, the former Mamelodi Sundowns manager described the type of national team he would be interested in working with.
"The World Cup I've done with a country was once," the former Al Ahli coach stated.
"So maybe with the national team, that interests me more [than with a club]. And also, the national team doesn't mean [just] anyone. A national team that you think you can go to in the semi-final.
"And when you go to the semi-final, go to the final, and when you're in the final, you might as well win it."
The South African mentor confirmed that he received offers from two West African national teams and explained why the deal didn't eventually go through.
"We had calls with even West African countries, two! And ones I said, 'Yeah, these are the ones'. But things are done differently in those spaces," he added.
"You asked yourself what happened, there's a space, the call comes back… It's difficult to [understand] when there is space for the ministry and the football federation.
"There are always clashes somewhere there, the ministry because they pay for the coach, they want this coach, the football federation want that coach. Hopefully, we'll get one that goes together."
