Roger De Sa discusses next coaching challenge

Former Orlando Pirates head coach Roger De Sa has discussed his next coaching challenge as he looks to return to the touchline.

De Sa has vast experience of coaching in international football after working as an assistant coach for Egypt, Qatar, and Iran in his recent jobs.

The 59-year-old mentor served as an assistant coach to Carlos Queiroz in all his previous jobs. He was part of the coaching staff for Qatar as they hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper is back in South Africa looking for a job in the PSL. De Sa is no stranger to the PSL dugout, having coached a handful of teams in his career.

Roger De Sa coached clubs such as Santos FC, Bidvest Wits, Orlando Pirates, Ajax Cape Town, Maritzburg United, Platinum Stars, Cape Umoya, and All-Stars.

De Sa began his coaching career in 2001 as a goalkeeper coach for South Africa, and he broke into club level with Santos in 2006.

His best season was with Pirates in 2013, where they finished as runners-up in the CAF Champions League. The Soweto giants lost in the final against Egyptian side Al Ahly.

The tactician explained that he would take any coaching job if the project excites him and the club has a proper vision.

“If I have a project that interests me, I will definitely take it. At the moment, I’m open to anything as long as the project excites me,” De Sa told FARPost.

“So I’m currently open for offers locally, on the African continent or even return to Europe. As long as the projects excite me, I’ll take the job.

“For me, at the moment, I just need a project that makes sense, and there’s a vision in the club, then we can work”.

While the 2023/24 PSL season is reaching the final stages, it remains to be seen if any club will give De Sa a coaching job for the next season.
