Kaizer Chiefs will be happy to welcome a return to Bafana Bafana through goalkeeper Bruce Buvuma.
No players from the Soweto Giants qualified for Hugo Blues' Bafana Bafana squad for the African Cup of Nations tournament in January.
In fact, not only did the Blues not select a Chiefs player, the outspoken coach had previously revealed that there was a serious lack of quality at Naturena.
Things haven't necessarily improved for the Chiefs, but Bruce Buvuma has certainly been a shining light for them.
Since being given the chance, the Kaizer Chiefs academy product has kept seven clean sheets in eight games. This season, he has only conceded one goal in about 750 minutes of soccer!
Will Bvuma plan to force Blues to make a U-turn to Kaizer Chiefs?
Buvuma has been selected in Hugo Blues' Bafana Bafana reserve squad for matches against Algeria and Andorra.
It remains to be seen whether he will remain in the final squad, but given Buvuma's form, the Blues will likely have to sacrifice either Veli Mosuwa or Ricardo Goss.
“The leadership has to improve. I watched the game last Saturday. I was at the Chiefs game and it's very disappointing, but Bafana Bafana don't have the right players at the moment. When you make a decision you try to build the best team and that's what I did,'' Hugo Bruce said of the Glamor Boys last year.
In other news, Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly considering former Real Madrid manager Wanderlei Luxembourg as their next manager.
The club plans to replace interim head coach Cabin Johnson at the end of the season.
And new reports suggest the Brazilian coach is the club's “second choice” after Pitso Mosimane.
Wanderlei Luxembourgo coached Real Madrid from 2004 to 2005. The 71-year-old has coached teams including the Brazilian national team and top clubs in South America.
Former Real Madrid manager is Chiefs' second choice
“Yes, the Luxembourg coach is one of the favorites to win, but the first choice remains Pitso Mosimane,” the source said. soccer laduma.
“Everything will depend on whether Mosimane does not join another overseas team or renew his contract with his current team, Abha Club.
“It will be a tough game for Kaizer Chiefs, but they are playing a waiting game, so all the other coaches are on the shortlist. Luxembourgo is one of them.”
