'Dan Dance' as Malesela is known, had also startled members of the media at Dr. Pitso Mosimane's celebratory brunch at FNB Stadium when he called Sundowns out on their appointment of the young Frenchman.
Malesela stated that Folz's appointment goes against the development of local coaches and displays a lack of belief in homegrown talent.
"I'm trying to be careful because it may sound like I wanted the job for myself - not really. But it's a place I would go to. Yes, it's a place I would go to," he told journalists.
"I was just raising my concerns in terms of getting somebody from outside to be assistant, you know. Because assistants in my case and in the case in the South African scenario, doesn't have the final say, why do you have a foreigner who does not have the final say? That's all I was worried about.
"And I'm worried about the succession rate we must have in the country in terms of coaches and all of that, because it looks like we, we definitely are not worried about our own and we are not trying to improve our own. So that was my biggest worry."
