Watch VideoZola Dunywa says Safa boss Danny Jordaan must hire local coach after Hugo Broos’ exit

THE discussion regarding Hugo Broos’ replacement intensifies at Safa House , especially with assistant Helman Mkhalele having ruled himself out for now. Former Bafana Bafana team manager Zola Dunywa has criticisedSafapresident Danny Jordaan for overlooking local coaches, insisting that a “son of the soil” should succeed Hugo Broos after the upcoming Fifa World Cup. Broos announced a few months agothat he will retire from coaching after the global showpiece in North America, following an illustrious career that includes winning the 2017 AFCON with Cameroon.

Given his success, Broos’ boss,Jordaan, seems hesitantto let the man who has changed the face of Bafana over the last five years, leave. “He’s (Broos) indicated that at the end of his contract he’ll have reached his retirement age, but we still have a conversation to have,” Jordaan revealed earlier this week during the announcement of Safa’s partnership with Standard Bank. “My problem is that I am not a fan of foreign coaches for our boys,” Dunywa revealed.

“I think the things that started the conflict between myself and Danny, who brought all these coaches by himself – Phillip Troussier, Carlos Queiroz, and Alberto Perreira – still apply. Dunywa also expressed shock at claims that Bafana’s failure to progress past the last-16 at the previous AFCON was due to a lack of depth from players currently playing club football abroad.
