Former AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy has addressed reports linking him to Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
McCarthy, who is currently in the country to attend the Heineken All-In event, parted ways with Usuthu in March after a successful period with the club and has since been linked with the head coaching role recently left vacant by Stuart Baxter at Chiefs, while the Bucs hotseat has also been mentioned as a possibility for Bafana Bafana's all-time top scorer.
"At the moment, I am just sharpening my craft. I am doing a lot of online and visits for my license, because every three years you have to refresh your Pro License. So, that's what I am doing. I have a course next week in Wales. It's good and it will give me an opportunity to listen to how the game is evolving every year. Now that I am in the UK, I am on the doorstep of where everything is happening, For my next challenge that comes up, I am ready for it. I have gained the experience, I have done my due -dilligence. I am ready to tackle my next challenge, whether it's local or international," McCarthy told media.
On Chiefs, McCarthy said: "Last time I checked Arthur Zwane was in charge and he is doing a great job. Young coach, why not? That job is not vacant because it's occupied by Arthur Zwane and he is doing an incredible job. Well done to him, he deserves the opportunity. I wish Arthur the best for the remaining matches in the league. I also wish my former club Pirates well. Me being linked to both clubs, it's just a rumour. Don't take anything serious about rumours.
"It's always nice when your name is in there because you know that you are on the right path. It means you are doing something right. I will continue to strive for success until one day I am at the perfect club, with the perfect management that wants the same things as I want."
