How Benni McCarthy helped improve Bafana Bafana hopeful Makhaula's game

The Randfontein-born player is still hoping to receive a national team call-up with the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers set to start next month

AmaZulu FC midfielder Makhehlene Makhaula has credited coach Benni McCarthy for his improvement as he made his mark in the PSL last season.

The experienced player was one of the most outstanding central midfielders in the league as Usuthu challenged for the PSL title and eventually finished second behind champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

Makhaula revealed how McCarthy, who is a retired striker, gave him the confidence to play simple football which saw him being nominated for the PSL Midfielder of the Season award.
