	Jomo Sono boosts Igesund : Sport: Soccer: News24 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Johannesburg - Jomo Sono on Monday declared he was not available for the post - then added further fuel to the fires of controversy surrounding the Bafana Bafana assistant coach job by declaring Gordon Igesund was the logical choice for the position.
		Sono and Igesund were the only two South Africans on a final short-list of seven who were placed under the microscope by Safa as candidates to take over as Bafana head coach - a far-reaching position before the 2010 World Cup that has now been offered to former Brazil World Cup coach Carlos Alberto Parreira.
		Sono said he did not mean to detract from the ability of Pitso Mosimane, Khabo Zondo and Steve Komphela, who have been named by the Safa technical committee as candidates to become Bafana's assistant coach and also as the interim coach until the new appointee arrives.

		Sono, however, has also acquired a reputation for unreliability and betting against him keeping an appointment would, as they say in racing parlance, put you onto a good thing.
