Parreira, “the backstabbing” captain returns to his sinking ship.

Carlos Alberto Parreira, the former Bafana coach has been reinstated into the position of head coach of the defeat less Bafana Bafana. This was announced by Safa (South African Football Association), on Friday night, after the previous coach Joel Santana resigned. Santana who was suggested by Parreira, simply failed to match the level of his predecessor. Parreira is faced with the difficult task of getting Bafana back into gear.

Now, why would one want to appoint someone who left Bafana when they were really blossoming into a solid unit, to be with his wife back home? But this does not surprise some of us, because we know that Safa is just performing their well-known ritual. They have never failed to fire and appoint new coaches near the time of World Cup Tournaments. The exact same thing happened before the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan.

Whoever promotes such behaviour is an idiot, who sure knows how to lure these foreign coaches with big paycheques that they would never be afforded in their own countries. It did not work in the past and what will change this time. Who are they fooling? Safa is like a dog chasing its own tail- all they do is deal with issues in the same manner that failed them in the past.
