Coach Hugo Broos Confirms Talk With South Africa By Uche Dozie Former Coach of Club Brugge, Hugo Broos has confirmed that South Africa contacted him to replace coach Molefi Ntseki whose contract was terminated at the end of May, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The 69-year-old Belgian confirmed to Timeslive, but spoke no further about if he will be the next Bafana Bafana Coach as he was still in Belgium. "The only thing I am willing to say for now is that there was contact with me one week ago. I don’t know what is going to happen in the next day or the coming days. Nothing has happened between me and the federation [Safa] and I don’t want to comment too much on this matter. There are reports on some South Africa news outlets of Hugo being unveiled today as he said to be the only foreigner found worthy to take over reigns at the national team. Broos is not new to the African terrain as he was the coach that led Cameroon to Afcon success in Gabon in 2017 when they beat Egypt 2-1 in the final at the Stade de l'Amitié in Libreville. Benny McCharty had been reported to be appointed coach of the team some days ago, but the news was refuted immediately by the South African Football Association (SAFA). Coach Pitso Mosimane, Queiroz, Frenchman Hervé Renard, Eric Tinkler are coaches that have been linked at one time or the other to lead the South African national team.
