Joel Natalino Santana is the name of the new man to lead Bafana Bafana to a great performance in the World Cup Soccer in 2010.

Next week, Santana will be signing his contract to be the coach of Bafana Bafana - South Africa’s soccer team - set to play in the 2010 Soccer World Cup, hosted in South Africa.

Joel Santana, also a Brazilian coach, is taking over the coaching job of South Africa’s team from Carlos Alberto Pareirra, who took on the coaching of Bafana Bafana (“The Boys The Boys”) last year.

In Brazil, Santana is one of the few manager coaches that won the Brazilian soccer league with each of its four top soccer clubs; Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Vasco da Gama.
