I wanted to leave on a high for my country. Defeat by France was not the right way to go but im happy with all I’ve done for the national team. It’s time for me to go back to my family and face fresh challenges,” he told the BBC.
According to various media reports, Keshi is more likely coming to take over the vacant Bafana Bafana coaching job. Keshi and former Iranian coach, Carlos Quiroz were reportedly the front runners for the post.
Interestingly, both Keshi and Quiroz have quit their jobs.
