SAFA President Danny Jordaan: We won't let Hugo Broos leave without a fight

The Belgian mentor has been a revelation for Bafana Bafana, leading the country to third place in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations before a last 16 place at the 2025 edition of the competition.

He also secured South Africa their place at the 2026 World Cup that kicks off in the United States, Canada and Mexico in June.

Broos announced last year that he intends to step down from his post at the end of the continental competition, but Jordan explained that he hopes to be able to convince the coach to extend his stay.

Speaking at the announcement of a new partnership with Standard Bank, Jordaan said it's important for Bafana to have consistency if they are to continue to improve.

He said on FARPost: "We have to discuss with him. He has indicated that at the end of the contract, he will retire. We will still have a conversation.

"Never in the history of South Africa did you have a coach stay the course of their contract. Coaches must be given the opportunity to settle the team, scan the land and decide which players are suitable for my team."

"We must give stability to the coaching staff," he explained.
