Bruce departs South Africa
The South African Football Association has announced that Belgian coach Hugo Broos, aged 74, does not wish to renew his contract after it expires this July. Broos took charge of the South African national team in May 2021, leading them to win the bronze medal at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and qualify for the knockout stages for the first time in the 2026 World Cup, where they were eliminated in the Round of 32 after losing to Canada. Although the federation offered to extend his contract until the end of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, Broos decided to retire, with his announcement coming before the start of the World Cup. It is worth noting that Broos became the oldest coach to win a match at the World Cup at the age of 74 years and 75 days. South Africa is preparing for the qualification matches for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, which will begin with a home game against Guinea in September.
