Overview
- Broos confirmed in an interview in Belgium that he will not continue as Bafana Bafana head coach and described the decision as final.
- He said he has already spoken with SAFA president Danny Jordaan and would consider a consultancy role focused on scouting or technical advice rather than full-time coaching.
- The 74-year-old ends a five-year spell that included a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations bronze and South Africa’s first World Cup knockout-stage appearance.
- Broos cited family reasons for stepping back and said he would be willing to travel to South Africa periodically if asked to assist in a part-time capacity.
- SAFA now faces a leadership transition for the national team while retaining Broos in a technical role could keep his talent pipeline work and team standards in place.
