July 31 : Hugo Broos has said he will not renew his contract as head coach of South Africa when it expires this month, the country’s football association said on Friday.
Belgian Broos, 74, has been at the helm of Bafana Bafana since May 2021 and led them to third place at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations as well as a first knockout-round berth at the 2026 World Cup, where they exited in the round of 32 following a defeat to Canada.
The South African Football Association had reportedly offered Broos an extension of his contract to the end of the 2027 Cup of Nations next July, but he has instead taken the decision to retire from professional coaching, as he had suggested he would before the World Cup started.
Broos became the oldest coach to win a match at the global finals at 74 years and 75 days when his side defeated South Korea in their final Group A game.
