Africa-Press – South-Sudan. Shilene Booysen has parted ways with South Sudan Football Federation –SSFA.
The South African tactician left her job as the head of the senior women’s national team coach after her contract ran out.
“I came to a country I had never thought about before. I came in to change the lives of many girls and women, but what happened was that I was changed forever,” the coach said on her Facebook page.
The South African engineer cum football manager was appointed in February 2021 by former SSFA president Francis Amin. She was on a two-year- contract.
“As a coach, you have to say goodbye at some point, and I want to say that I am sure I will see many of you again. In different roles, in different countries, and I am confident you will shine like you usually do.
“Football will never be the same for me. I will always remember the challenges we fought together, the struggles we had to overcome, but mostly the development, growth, laughs, and friendships,” she added.
The coach left the country today for South Africa.
“My contract expired, and I would have been informed what to do next.
I didn’t receive any information from the federation. I’m actually leaving today; I’m busy right now, and my bags are already at the airport,” she told City Sport on her way to South Africa Thursday evening.
Booysen, however, stated that she would be open to discussing a new contract should SSFA require her to continue with the squad.
