Benkenstein back to SA, but not to Titans … at the moment

Posted on July 29, 2016 by Ken

 

Former Dolphins captain and Proteas ODI player Dale Benkenstein is returning to South Africa following his exit from the Hampshire coaching position, leading to speculation that he could be in line to take over from Rob Walter at the Titans, but the franchise confirmed on Wednesday that negotiations with the 42-year-old did not lead to anything concrete.

“We did negotiate with Dale Benkenstein but unfortunately we weren’t able to secure a contract with him,” Titans CEO Jacques Faul told The Citizen on Wednesday.

“Applications close today [Wednesday] for the position, but we reserve the right to head-hunt someone if the applicants are not of a suitable quality,” Faul added.

It would be premature, though, to dismiss Benkenstein as a candidate because the Titans’ initial talks with him happened before his departure from Hampshire was announced last weekend.

Faul said he was not sure whether Benkenstein had applied for the job as the CEO is currently on leave.

Benkenstein could not be reached for comment.

  • Thought of the Day

    John 12:43 – “They loved praise from men more than praise from God.”

    Your standards should not be of the world, but rather of God.

    People have differing value systems and you cannot comply with all of them. Your essential values ought not to be influenced by the opinions of other people. If you allow yourself to be shaped by other people’s opinions and expectations of you, then your life will be governed by ever-changing values.

    If you live to please God alone, you will develop a strong character and a good reputation according to his principles.

    • Your word must be your bond.
    • Temper your candour with love.
    • Honesty must be an integral part of your being.
    • Refrain from harshly criticising others because you are aware of your own vulnerability.
