The 48-year-old is currently contracted to Kenya, where he is the head coach of Harambee Stars until 2027. Amakhosi have been under interim co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef.
McCarthy insisted he can consider going to Naturena if the management contacts him.

Who’s fooling whom? I remember that time when you were at Pirates, you said it’s a dream come true to play for the team you grew up supporting – Tman Marobyane
I think this is a hint, and McCarthy is saying he’s ready to take on the hot seat at the Naturena Village – Mthuti Lunga
Chiefs have a scoring problem. Benni made Man United score goals; our attack can gain a lot from him, there. All that experience he gained from European coaches could be top-notch – Mar Gees
I must say I’m really shocked by Benni’s revelation that he supported the biggest team in Africa, Kaizer Chiefs, when he grew up – Fundisile Tiwane
He has seen a vacancy at Kaizer Chiefs; there is no coach on that side – May Maps
Chiefs should approach him

He also said that if Kaizer Chiefs wants to sign him, they should just approach him. Otherwise, he can’t speak further on the matter – Charli TheArtist
For some reason, I want this guy to be the next head coach of Kaizer Chiefs, even though he played for Orlando Pirates – Masungulo Genesis
So why was he so happy when he scored two goals against chiefs a few years back? And why did he join Pirates instead of them? – Catzico
He is employed elsewhere, so if he says he wants the job on social media can get himself fired in his current role – Ndumiso Mdumara Thabethe
Despite being a good coach, Kaizer Chips would make him emotional as he used to be on the touch line. Swearing and shouting, the club is in shambles – Storo KaLuyenge Mevamhlophe
