Keshi linked with Orlando Pirates
Aside Keshi, Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt is also said to be eyeing the Orlando Pirates coaching job.
The ‘Big Boss’ recently signed a management deal with the Johannesburg-based Quality Talent Sports and fcnaija.com has been told the former Nigeria international is close to signing with a South African club.
“We have made some progress as it regards getting a club for Stephen Keshi, which is our mandate,” CEO of Quality Talent Sports, Tim Sukazi said.
“We have spoken to some clubs here in South Africa but we cannot reveal their identities at this point because the league is still on and it will not be good for the clubs involved,” he stated.
Keshi’s last job was with the Super Eagles of Nigeria, from where he was fired last year, but it is now understood he could be in the dugout for a South African club at the start of the 2016/17 Premier Soccer League.
Meanwhile, previous reports suggested that former Bafana Bafana and Pirates striker Benni McCarthy was tipped to take over the coaching reins, but the club wants him as assistant coach for now.
McCarthy worked with Hunt during their days in Cape Town with the now defunct Seven Stars Football Club – where he rose to prominence.
