In 2021, McCarthy himself expressed a desire to coach the South African national football team in a few years' time.
"If the Bafana offer came up one day, I would definitely be interested. Which coach or manager wouldn't be interested in being the head coach of his country?" he asked, as quoted by BBC Sports.

4 Rising Stars Players in Pole Position For Moves Abroad After Impressing Scouts at U20 AFCON
Rising Stars exited the U20 AFCON dramatically in the group stages but the Kenyan youngster had lots of positives to pick from with four key players in pole position for moves abroad.
"The national job is the biggest job for any football coach—your country's fate lies in your hands, you have the chance to guide the team to World Cups, to win the Africa Cup of Nations—it's huge."
"I think one day in the near future that would be my aim, but for now I am more interested in working on a day-to-day basis," he added.
He has since taken up the Kenyan job despite renewed links in 2024 following his exit as Manchester United first-team coach.
Now, McCarthy hopes to guide Kenya to continental glory—with his home nation potentially in their path.
