South Africa have dismissed reports that Hugo Broos has stepped down as Bafana Bafana head coach following the team’s historic 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign.
According to ESPN, the South African Football Association (SAFA) said in an official statement on Friday that the Belgian remains in charge of the national team, rejecting reports that he had ended his five-year spell after South Africa’s Round of 32 exit at the World Cup.
The clarification follows a report by Belgian outlet Voetbalnieuws, which claimed the 74-year-old had described his decision to leave as “irreversible” and suggested SAFA president Danny Jordaan was considering another role for him.
However, the South African federation insisted the reports were false.
