Former Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has suggested that if Pitso Mosimane is named as the new coach of the side they will “go five years back in time” in a stunning rebuke of his proposed successor.
Broos suggested that Mosimane may be influenced by agents and club owners in another spicey outburst in an interview in the Belgian media.
“South Africa still don’t have a coach,” Broos told Het Nieuwsblad. “The candidate is Pitso Mosimane, a successful South African coach. But they know that if he comes in, they’ll go five years back in time.
“Club owners and agents calling coaches to influence the squad selection. I threw all of them out. If one called, I would say bluntly: ‘I don’t talk with agents’.”
“I underestimated it. The closer the end came, the more people asked me not to stop. There are people who have now lost their jobs because I’m no longer continuing. My driver, for example, people drive like cowboys in South Africa.
“My assistant coach, Helman Mkhalele, too. He didn’t want to stay without me. My wife knows Helman and felt sorry for him too. ‘If you can stay for another year in a different role, with Helman as coach, then do it.’
