Gordon Igesund has been appointed the new Bafana Bafana coach.
The announcement was made yesterday at Safa House following a meeting of the national executive committee (NEC).
The two coaches who were asked to present their credentials for the position — Steve Komphela and Gordon Igesund — were each given a chance to make a presentation to the NEC.
The new coach has been offered a two-year contract with a mandate to reach at least the semifinal in the 2013 Afcon tournament which South Africa will host, as well as qualifying the country for the 2014 Fifa World Cup tournament in Brazil.
