Former Bafana Bafana striker Katlego Mphela doesn't think he would make a good coach because he feels he lacks that little bit of craziness.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs star believes football coaches need to be a bit eccentric to do the job, and he doesn't see that aspect in his own personality.

"To be honest, I don't have the personality to take up coaching," said Mphela as quoted by Daily Sun.

"We must remember that not every soccer player has the characteristics of being a coach.

"Coaching is a nice fall-back option after retiring because you continue doing what you always wanted to do. But it's not easy.

"You need to be a little crazy and be eccentric. I don't know if I can do that."
