'We didn’t sack anybody’: Pitso Mosimane clears the air over Bafana Bafana backroom overhaul

Pitso Mosimane has clarified that he did not dismiss any members of the previous Bafana Bafana backroom staff, instead assembling an entirely new technical team after Hugo Broos' entire staff departed. The coach, known for his attacking style of play, is eager to deliver success for the national team, including silverware, alongside improved performances from the previous generation.
