@MNTsonda said:
“Many South Africans want Hugo Broos to fail at Bafana, the truth is that this man will bring back the glory days."
@ReelRegter said:
“Another experiment that will fail.”
@IceManCT said:
“It’s never been a coaching problem... A) SAFA is a problem, and B) we have poor development issues from grassroots level up, which in turn causes C) that is not having very good players at a senior level. The administration at SAFA needs fresh, innovative young guys to run SA football.”

“I thought the guy would be quarantined before doing actual interviews and running all over Gauteng.”
@GeneralLefa1 said:
“In Hugo I believe, give the guy a chance and support and our hearts shall be filled with joy."
@Mukesh_Gazza said:
“A man who knows nothing about SA football... lol.”
@Njovis said:
“Another pensioner to collect his retirement funds. He might have a pedigree but need a younger coach to build and grow the team.”
Briefly News also reported that the ex-Cameroon coach has been named as the new Bafana Bafana boss and the development was announced on Wednesday last week.
The coaching position became vacant when SAFA sacked Molefi Ntseki from his role back in March.
Ntseki was shown the exit door at SAFA House just after he failed to guide the 1996 African champions to the upcoming CAF African Cup of Nations to be staged in Cameroon.
