'He Is Like a Computer' - Faith Kipyegon Details the Special Relationship She Shares With Eliud Kipchoge
Faith Kipyegon has credited her close, almost telepathic bond with Eliud Kipchoge as a key source of inspiration in her quest to break the four-minute mile barrier.
After leaving Old Trafford, Benni McCarthy was then approached by Amazulu FC, but he declined their request.
“I had coached them once, and I didn’t want to do it twice. It was just another time, and I had moved on and had the best time as a coach at Amazulu. It was amazing working there,” Benni McCarthy revealed.
Benni McCarthy remains a popular name linked to top South African clubs like Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, and he admitted to being open to coaching one of the clubs when the right time comes.
His coaching journey in South Africa has been shaped by near misses and personal choices, and for now, the former striker is focused on taking Harambee Stars to the next level.
