Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos says the perfect time to end his coaching career will be after the 2026 FIFA World Cup next year.
Broos began his tenure with South Africa in 2021, taking the reins following the sacking of Molefi Ntseki.
He has transformed Bafana into a force to be reckoned with in African football. He guided them into a bronze medal finish in the last year’s AFCON in Ivory Coast.
He has, again, qualified for the next AFCON to be held in Morocco and most recently the World Cup to take place in USA, Mexico and Canada next year.
“Don’t ask me what my emotions are for the moment; I don’t have words for that,” said Broos during the post-match press conference.
“I hoped, maybe more than any player or man in this group that we should go to America. For me, it is a sentimental reason.
“You all know that I have been already at the World Cup at the end of my career as a player [with Belgium] and now I do it again [as a coach].
“And I think it will be the right moment next year, after the World Cup, to stop my [coaching] career and go to my family and enjoy the next 20 years with my children and grandchildren.
“But first of all, there is some work to do, and we will try to do it well.”
