South Africa Considers Pitso Mosimane for Second Term as National Football CoachPreviousNext

South Africa has approached Pitso Mosimane to return as head coach following Hugo Broos's departure after the recent World Cup. SAFA president Danny Jordaan confirmed Mosimane as the preferred candidate but noted some details remain to be finalized, with an announcement expected next week. Mosimane previously coached South Africa from 2010 to 2012, winning multiple African Champions League titles at club level. His earlier tenure ended amid a World Cup qualifying setback involving a miscalculation of qualification rules.
