Hunt is inspired by Mosimane’s work and knows how much SA can benefit from having more players abroad.

“I have said it earlier that it is important for us and we need to start exporting more, not just players but coaches. But we get judged because of our national team. What Pitso is doing is brilliant and we have to commend him for sticking it out there with the living conditions is not easy. It is difficult to live a different way of life,” Hunt stated.

McCarthy is the attack coach of Manchester United and he has opened the door to future opportunities.

“If you don’t get opportunities, how do you go? Look at Benni’s situation now, he has one foot to get into a coaching job in England if he leaves there. He can get a chance at a decent level and what helps is the playing career, it can help,” Hunt added.
