South Africa Names Hugo Broos as New Coach - Led Cameroon To 2017 AFCON Victory by TMKsouth(op):
The South African Football Association (SAFA) on Wednesday announced Belgian Hugo Broos as the new head coach of Bafana Bafana.

The 69-year-old former Belgian international becomes the 19th head coach of the senior men's national team after replacing Molefi Ntseki, who failed to qualify the country for next year's AFCON in Cameroon.

It has been the most protracted of appointment processes - full of twists and turns - that started following Ntseki's sacking on 31 March.

It has taken SAFA 35 days to find a suitable replacement ahead of a crucial 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Former head coach Carlos Queiroz emerged as the early favourite for the job before record goalscorer Benni McCarthy entered the fray as a late candidate and overwhelming fan favourite for the vacant post.

However in the last 48 hours, it was Broos who emerged as a dark horse after negotiations between the previous two names and SAFA broke down.

Broos, who had recent success in leading Cameroon to lift the 2017 Afcon title, will now be tasked with clinching a place at next year’s World Cup tournament for South Africa.

Broos is not a bad idea but they would have gone with Benni Mcarthy. Benni is a Radical crazy coach with Crazy tactics.
See how he has turned AmazuluFC to big boys in South Africa.

Hugo Broos

Playing career - 1970 - 1988

Broos, a central defender enjoyed an eight year spell with the Belgian national team and represented the side during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Where Belgium finished fourth, their highest finish in a World Cup tournament until the recent golden generation of the past eight years.

At club level he played his entire career at Anderlecht, where he spent a 13-year spell before moving to Club Brugge for the last five years of his playing career.

Managerial career - 1988 - present

The Belgian to date has enjoyed a journeyed managerial career that has spanned 33 years since 1988.

Broos managed Belgian giants Anderlecht where he coached players such as Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany, before moving on to Genk, who produced talents such as Kevin de Bruyne.

The Belgian notably led Cameroon against the odds to an unlikely Afcon title in 2017 where they defeated Mohamed Salah’s Egypt in the final.

I get you - he was indeed the fans' favourite. But I'm certain he's a future Bafana coach - Broos too will soon get sacked like the rest. Bafana are a mess angry

Bafana is an Over hyped team.
Bunch of talentless and proud players with the exemption of a few of them.
Once they play for Kaizer chiefs ,Orlando pirates or Sundowns, they begin to feel like they have arrived.

The Present bunch of Bafana are below average, with the exception of a few.
I began following benni when he was Capetown city manager
Safa should be able to naturalize some good foreign players in the league so as to build a strong team

There's plenty of talent locally coz we once won AFCON and qualified for top tournaments plenty of times. The foreign players will get just as spoiled.

The problem is with the development system and SAFA politics. The right and talented players aren't allowed to emerge.

You can't compare the Mark Fish, radebe, Generation to these ones.. those guys were dedicated and serious footballers.
These ones are more of models. I Love your captain. He is a serious footballer.

There are many South Africans plying their trade in overseas leagues esp in Portugal, which are never selected for our team. Overseas players are always shun in favor of local players that's the crux of our struggles

Hmmm, I wasn't aware of that. Lost interest in Bafana 10 years ago. I guess it's true when they say Bafana is majority Chiefs and Pirates players coz of SAFA politics.

yeah bro, there's a lot of talent around Europe, young talent, which inexplicably is not selected. We have a player even at Leicester City.
