Broos led South Africa to a third-place finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, but the former Manchester United assistant coach believes the crop of players under the Belgian can achieve more.

"Bafana over the last few years have been nowhere; they've not qualified for any World Cups, so they have underachieved quite a lot."

"I don't know if they have the right manager," the former FC Porto striker added.
