Ex-Bafana Bafana goalkeeper coach Alex Heredia sad to see Brilliant Khuzwayo retiring

The Argentine-born accredited coaching instructor has advised the ex-Buccaneers net minder to consider taking coaching lessons

Former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper coach Alex Heredia has expressed sadness following the news that Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Brilliant Khuzwayo has retired.

The Umlazi-born keeper called it a day after failing to recover from a long-term knee injury, but Heredia has backed the 29-year-old to bounce back in the game.

“It’s a pity to hear such news. Look, he was such a talented goalkeeper and I know him at the U23 and I coached him at Bafana. I think we must believe this was a big injury that forced him to retire but he must not give up – he must have confidence,” Heredia told Goal.
