Letsholonyane, who just lately parted methods with AmaZulu as their reserve league coach, is at the moment the assistant coach of Amajita, the SA Under-20 workforce.

“My ambitions, obviously as a young coach now, is in the near future to be a Bafana Bafana coach – but the journey starts somewhere, and currently I’m the assistant coach for the U20 national team,” mentioned Letsholonyane throughout an interview with SABC Sport.

Letsholonyane was stuffed with reward for Bafana after they received bronze on the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final weekend.

“I think it was one of our best tournaments, considering that we haven’t been qualifying for tournaments, and when we are there, we haven’t been going through the knockout stages,” mentioned the previous Jomo Cosmos midfielder.

“When the tournament started, Bafana were not given a chance. Almost everyone thought they would not even qualify for the knockouts.”

“Playing within the semi-final was an enormous factor. For me, it’s a basis that has been laid in order that we get again to the place we should always be, by way of conquering Africa.

Letsholonyane has 50 caps for Bafana and represented South Africa on the 2010 FIFA World Cup, in addition to the 2013 and 2015 AFCON editions.
