Are you sure you know the real reason why Carlos "threw in the towel" ?? Methinks the "wife cancer" story was mumbo jumbo !! SAFA hasnt really come out with the real reason. Carlos comeback ? He showed glimpes of someone who has a plan, but remember he was a complete failure when it mattered (AFCON 2008). Santana looks to be out of sort, and 5 games later I am sure he can hardly give you 20 names of Bafana players from memory. And yes,given the language barrier it will take a while for his ideas to filter to the players. But basically, shouldn't the criteria in hiring the Bafana coach been: "international experience" ? Coaching a club in Saudi Arabia hardly counts for such experience. The current incumbent is JOEL,not Carlos, Santana by the way!!
