Former Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has questioned the South African Football Association’s decision to appoint Pitso Mosimane as the national team’s next head coach, warning that South African football could “go back five years” if the appointment goes ahead. The comments were made after SAFA’s National Executive Committee agreed to appoint Mosimane following Broos’ departure after the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, contract negotiations remain ongoing, with issues including image rights delaying the official announcement. The developments come as Bafana Bafana prepare for the start of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, making the appointment of a new coach increasingly urgent.
