Pitso Mosimane is one of the favourites to succeed Hugo Broos as head coach of the national team.
The foundation that Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has laid at the national team needs a successor who can hit the ground running with an intimate familiarity with South African football – and that person is none other than Pitso Mosimane.
That was the definitive view of Kwanele Kopo, Mosimane’s former understudy and a renowned South African youth development coach, when asked who he thought should replace Hugo Broos at the helm of Bafana.
Broos’ future with the national team remains uncertain. After guiding Bafana to a historic Fifa World Cup knockout stage berth recently, the Belgian tactician declared that he would make a final decision on his future upon returning to the country in the coming days.
The Belgian’s silence does not change the fact that his contract with Bafana expired at the end of the World Cup. As it stands, he will have to negotiate a renewal with Safa, likely competing alongside other applicants for the job.
