The Bafana Bafana legend, who recently ended his time as a first-team coach at Manchester United, stated that he had interviewed with several clubs in the Major League Soccer (MLS) as he looks to take on a new managerial role. McCarthy, who had a successful playing career and has gained coaching experience in the South African league, expressed his excitement about the possibility of leading a team in the United States.
In addition to his MLS talks, McCarthy addressed the rumours linking him to Mamelodi Sundowns, the current PSL champions. He firmly dismissed these speculations, emphasizing that his focus is on securing a head coaching position elsewhere. McCarthy clarified that, while he appreciates the interest from local fans, he is exploring opportunities abroad rather than considering a return to the South African domestic scene at this time.
