“I Am Visiting Them In Person” — Pitso Mosimane Reveals Radical New Strategy For PSL Coaches

Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane has highlighted the importance of maintaining strong working relationships with coaches in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), explaining why communication and cooperation between national team and club coaches remain essential for the development of South African football.

Mosimane believes that building a positive relationship with club coaches will make it easier for the national team technical team to monitor players, understand their conditions and prepare effectively for upcoming international assignments.

The Bafana Bafana coach recently shared his thoughts on the subject, agreeing with the position expressed by the Orlando Pirates coach regarding the importance of cooperation between club and national team structures.

According to Mosimane, national team football should not operate in isolation from domestic football. Instead, there should be regular communication between the national team technical staff and the coaches responsible for developing and managing players at their respective clubs.

He also revealed his intention to visit PSL clubs personally as part of his efforts to strengthen those relationships. The visits would provide an opportunity to engage directly with coaches, observe players and discuss matters affecting the national team.

Mosimane understands that PSL clubs invest significant time and resources in developing footballers. Therefore, he believes that national team officials must respect the work being done at club level while ensuring that the country’s best available players receive opportunities to represent South Africa.

His proposed approach could also help address misunderstandings that sometimes emerge when players are selected, released or managed during international breaks.

For clubs such as Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs, maintaining a healthy relationship with the national team is particularly important because several of their players regularly feature in Bafana Bafana squads.

South Africa is currently focused on strengthening its national team ahead of important international assignments. The technical team will need consistent performances from players competing in the domestic league and abroad.

Mosimane’s comments suggest that he wants to establish an environment where club coaches and national team officials work towards common objectives rather than operate as separate structures.

His planned visits could therefore represent an important step towards improving cooperation within South African football.

Ultimately, the success of Bafana Bafana depends not only on the quality of players selected but also on the relationships, communication and planning behind the scenes. Mosimane appears determined to make those areas a priority as he continues building his national team project.
