BFA wants 'development' coach

The BFA will seek to appoint a capable coach that is able to entrench the national football philosophy of Botswana and build a solid talent development pathway that is built from grassroots and ultimately contribute to the national team’s performance,” Taylor told MmegiSport. She could not say if they will restrict recruitment to local coaches. “We will be looking for a capable individual regardless of race, gender or affiliation,” Taylor said. The BFA is in search of its sixth coach in the last 10 years, with Stan Tshosane, Peter Butler, the late David Bright, Mogomotsi ‘Teenage’ Mpote and recently, Adel Amrouche, taking turns at the helm. BFA president, Maclean Letshwiti also reiterated the need to hire a coach with strong grassroots development skills.

“We are exploring our options as an organisation. We are no longer stressing about the national team, we are stressing about building a national team, so a coach must fit that scenario.
