From heroes to zeros‚ here's the full list of Bafana coaches

Shakes Mashaba was the 17th man to coach Bafana Bafana in the 24 years of the team’s existence since readmission to international football in 1992.

Mashaba was in his third stint as Bafana Bafana coach when he was fired by the South African Football Association (Safa) on Thursday.

Overall‚ their have been 23 coaching appointments made to the Bafana head coaching position‚ some on an interim basis. Like Mashaba‚ Jomo Sono has also had three stints in the national coaching hot seat – once‚ in 1998‚ as an interim coach when he took Bafana to that the final of that year’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Burkina Faso‚ then again as a caretaker in one match in 2003. Carlos Alberto Parreira and Pitso Mosimane have had two apiece.

Mashaba was fired following a disciplinary hearing for charges of‚ according to Safa‚ “gross misconduct/professional misconduct‚ gross Insubordination/professional misconduct and violation of the Safa Communications Policy”.
