SAFA technical director Walter Steenbok believes it’s part of his duties to improve the relationship between the PSL coaches and Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos.
Recently-appointed Steenbok wants to ensure that the communication between club coaches and the national team coach happens.
Broos was appointed in May 2021 and has attempted to arrange a meeting with PSL coaches since, but he is yet to find success there.
“A lot of emotional intelligence will be needed [to resolve the situation],” Steenbok said, as quoted by Times Live.
“We need the PSL for many reasons. They [PSL coaches] are my colleagues and part of the plan is to try and find out if we can have a technical study group that really analyses the PSL.
“That’s because the PSL has an impact on the national game. It is important that the relationship between the national team coach and professional coaches is in a good state.
“I would really encourage and would take it upon myself as one of the things I need to fix, so I can find out what are the challenges on that side [the PSL] and this side [Safa] so we can have a better SA.”
