Pitso Mosimane to Be Announced as Bafana Coach, Vincent Tseka to Stay?

SAFA ended weeks of speculation by naming Mosimane after Broos’s contract expired, as South Africa prepares for 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

  • On Tuesday, South African Football Association president Danny Jordaan unveiled Pitso Mosimane as the new Bafana Bafana coach, ending weeks of speculation surrounding the vacant national team position.
  • Mosimane replaces Hugo Broos, whose contract ended after five years of service, with Broos leaving on a high note following a historic 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout stage appearance in Mexico and Canada.
  • The 62-year-old brings extensive experience, having previously managed the national team between 2012 and winning the CAF Champions League with Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly.
  • Negotiations reportedly addressed the future of long-serving team manager Vincent Tseka; despite criticism over the past 12 months, reports indicate he may retain his position alongside the newly appointed coach.
  • Preparations for Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers begin at the end of the month, with Mosimane facing immediate fixtures including a home clash against Guinea and an away match against Eritrea.
