Superstars do not always make great coaches. Diego Maradona is an example. But Benni McCarthy wants to be an even better coach than he was a player.The former Bafana Bafana striker is currently at Scottish club Hibernian FC, where he is learning from the club's first team coach Alan Stubbs.McCarthy is at present pursuing his Uefa A coaching licence and believes he could be ready to lead a team in about two years."If it's back to South Africa or England, we will see," McCarthy said."I am studying to be the best coach that I can be. It's a completely different ball game and that's what many players do not understand. I am taking time to learn things the proper way."..
