Mosimane receives SAFA approval for Bafana job
"We will make a formal announcement of the coach next week," SAFA President Danny Jordaan said.
South African Football Association (SAFA) has given its approval for Pitso Mosimane to take over as head coach of the Bafana Bafana national team, according to NEC. The 62-year-old former coach of Mamelodi Sundowns and Al-Ahly emerges as the top candidate to replace Hugo Broos, whose contract ended earlier this month. Mosimane, who had previously coached the national team from 2010 to 2012, spent time at Iranian club Esteghlal before his latest stint.
The final details of his appointment are yet to be finalized, but SAFA President Danny Jordaan confirmed that the NEC had approved Mosimane's appointment. Should confirmed, Mosimane's focus will initially be on leading Bafana through their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, set to commence in September.
