Banyana coach revels in success
NOT even a face mask can hide the huge smile on Desiree Ellis’s face.
Sitting in her office at Safs house in Johannesburg, which overlooks the famous Soccer City , Ellis is beaming with pride at her latest major scalp with Banyana Banyana.
The 57-year-old landed in Johannesburg this week, after leading the women's national team to yet another Cosafa Women’s Championship in Port Elizabeth over the weekend.
Her troops defeated Botswana 2-1 in the final of the tournament to clinch the cup, making it four Cosafa Women’s Championships in a row for the Cape Town born coach.
Ellis is overjoyed.
“If I pulled off my mask, you’d be able to properly see the huge smile on my face,” Ellis says
