Marumo Gallants coach Dan Malesela says the national team shouldn’t be a place where players are developed.
Malesela believes Bafana should be dominated by players who are top performers and ready to play at such a level, rather than saying they will come right after a certain number of years.
“If you have six players at Sundowns that are good enough to go to the national, let them go and if you have nine let them go. In Spain they were doing it, take them if you are good enough,” Malesela said.
Critisizing Hugo Broos selection, Malesela strongly believes if South Africa takes the route of developing players in the senior national team, the country will wait a long time to taste success.
“You need to get ready-made people every time. Let the clubs fix and as a coach you should look and ask who is next? Look at the players that are performing at the time and play them in the national team,” Malesela told the media during the SA Football Coaches Association (Safca) event at Safa house in Nasrec on Thursday.
