Former Manchester United first team coach Benni McCarthy has opened up on being snubbed by Kaizer Chiefs when opportunities were there.
McCarthy, who recently parted ways with Manchester United, has consistently shown a desire to coach a big club like Chiefs.
However, he claims he was never approached by the club, even during periods of managerial uncertainty, such as when Gavin Hunt and Molefi Ntseki left the position.
He revealed that a handful of the so-called small teams have approached him rather than the big three.
MCCARTHY SPEAKS OUT ABOUT BEING SNUBBED BY CHIEFS
“I just feel that with us never getting an opportunity to mix among the best coaches in the world, you're never gonna know if there is a Pep Guardiola in one African coach because we never get the opportunity,” McCarthy said in an interview on 947's MSW.
“I don't feel like it's me [who doesn't want to coach big teams], because if it was, I'm gonna give you a silly example. After coach Gavin Hunt left Kaizer Chiefs, there was a possibility that I could have got the job, but I never did.
“Just before coach Nabi, there was an opportunity, there were cries from everybody, but I never got, for whatever reason, never [got a call].
“You get to a stage where… Yeah, I'm from South Africa, I love our football, but it's probably not gonna happen for you managing there unless it is your Richards Bay coming, your AmaZulu, your Cape Town City..”
