In a way I don't believe it was all his fault, but South African national team is at the lowest ranking ever and the fans are baying for someone's blood.<br /><br />Santana was very authoritarian, spoke little English - wouldn't work with the local coaches and didn't endear himself to anyone in a country where soccer it a religion.<br />Parreira has been talking big for a week or two about being available.
