Jwaneng Galaxy head coach Morena Ramoreboli has opened up on being considered for the South Africa under-23 coaching job.
Last month, the SAFA Technical Director Walter Steenbok told this publication that the mother body’s technical committee headed by Jack Maluleka would start engaging with Ramoreboli for the position.
He also revealed that the Free State-born coach would be assisted by Duncan Crowie, Pogiso Makhoye and Siyabulela Gwambi.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with this website a week ago, Ramoreboli stated that he hadn’t been approached yet for the job.
However, he was frank that it was his dream to mentor the national team and he’d be proud to continue serving the country.
He already knows the feeling having had short spells with under-17 and Bafana Bafana in the COSAFA Cup.
RAMOREBOLI HE’D LOVE TO SERVE THE NATION BUT HE ALSO RESPECTS CONTRACT WIITH GALAXY
“To be honest with you, no one has spoken to me yet,” Ramoreboli told FARPost.
“Secondly, as a coach in South Africa or someone that was born in South Africa, it’s everybody’s dream to work with national teams.
“I have worked with the Under 17, I have worked with Bafana. So, for me, serving the nation will always be something that really gives me an opportunity to grow.
“And if it happens, I wouldn’t look for something better than that. I’d be very happy to serve the nation.
“But at the moment, like I said no one has said anything to me. And I respect the fact that I’m still contracted to Jwaneng Galaxy.
“At the same time, I know that SAFA is a very professional institution. They know what to do if they’re interested in me.
“But like I said, I’ve served the nation before and I wouldn’t really mind to continue serving the country.”
