HELMAN MKHALELE: ASSISTANT BAFANA COACH
SABC reported in March 2021 that Helman “Midnight Express” Mkhalele was appointed as the second Bafana Bafana assistant coach to Hugo Broos.
The publication adds that the announcement was made by SAFA (South African Football Association) President Danny Jordaan at a media conference.
Chairperson of the SAFA Technical Committee, Jack Maluleka explained the process of appointing the assistant coach at the media conference.
“I just want to clear the issue of the assistant coach. The technical committee will only recommend to the NEC. It is then upon the coach to say these are the people I want to work with.”
“The head coach made his recommendation. We don’t interfere in that space. There is nothing sinister,” added Maluleka.
