Hugo Broos Steps Down After Five Years in Charge of Bafana Bafana

Hugo Broos has confirmed he is leaving his role as head coach of South Africa’s national team after a record run of more than five years. Under his guidance, Bafana Bafana earned the 2023 AFCON bronze medal, secured a place in the 2026 World Cup and reached the knockout stage for the first time. Broos says he will retire from full-time coaching but remains open to an advisory or scouting position with SAFA. He has already spoken with the federation’s president and plans to return in July for a final farewell. Broos joked his wife welcomes the break but would be happy to travel back occasionally to support the team’s future plans.
