He added that the team wants to inspire the youth.
“Benni McCarthy is associated with aspiration. We want to compete for young talent who must say 'I want to play for AmaZulu FC because I want to be coached by Benni McCarthy. I want to be maximising my opportunities and chances to be playing for Bafana Bafana, I want to play in Europe because the head coach has done it all in Europe',” he said.
