    South African football legend Benni McCarthy is reportedly in advanced discussions with an unnamed Major League Soccer (MLS) club, according to his agent, Rob Moore. McCarthy has consistently expressed his ambition to return to management, stating in an interview with CNN Sports that it is the next chapter in his career.

    McCarthy departed from Manchester United last season, where he served as a first-team coach under Erik ten Hag.

    According to reports, Moore confirmed the talks, stating that McCarthy is eager to embark on the next phase of his managerial career and sees the MLS as an attractive destination. The league’s growing reputation and expanding global reach have made it a desirable option for coaches seeking new challenges.

    From Player to Coach

    McCarthy’s potential move to the MLS marks a significant step in his post-playing career. He enjoyed a successful playing career, representing clubs like Ajax, Porto, and Blackburn Rovers, and also captained Bafana Bafana. After hanging up his boots, he transitioned into coaching, taking charge of Cape Town City and AmaZulu FC in his homeland.

    Bafana’s all-time top goalscorer expressed, “I believe it’s quite evident that after leaving United, my passion for becoming a head coach has only grown stronger, and I feel that’s the next step for me.”

    He added, “Whether it’s returning to Africa to manage one of the major teams on the continent, with the experience I’ve gained, I think it would be incredible to help transform a team into a powerhouse in African football.”

    Which MLS Club?

    While the identity of the MLS club remains under wraps, speculation is rife about which team might secure McCarthy’s services. Several MLS franchises are reportedly seeking new coaches, particularly St Louis City, and McCarthy’s experience and track record make him a prime candidate.

    Should McCarthy complete his move to the MLS, he will join a growing list of high-profile coaches plying their trade in the league. The likes of Patrick Vieira, Wayne Rooney, and Phil Neville have all made the switch to the MLS in recent years, further enhancing the league’s reputation.

    Anticipation Builds

    McCarthy’s potential arrival in the MLS is generating excitement among fans and pundits alike. His attacking philosophy and passion for the game are expected to resonate with American audiences, while his success in developing young talent could prove invaluable for MLS clubs.

    As negotiations continue, football enthusiasts eagerly await the official announcement of McCarthy’s new club. If the deal materializes, it will undoubtedly be a significant moment for both McCarthy and the MLS.
