SA football fans have reacted to the sacking of Chelsea's head coach Thomas Tuchel by suggesting the London club look at bringing former Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane or Manchester United coach Benni McCarthy through the door.

The club said its coaching staff will take charge of the team for training and the preparation for their upcoming matches as officials move swiftly to appoint a new head coach.
Wasting no time, local football fans threw suggested who they thought would be best suited for the job, including the two SA coaches with impressive international CVs.
