A declaration by Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Bross, that he has no plans to leave the national soccer team left many soccer lovers excited, seeing a chance for the national team to redeem itself to the pride of mzansi that it once was.
Hugo set the record straight while speaking to his players after it was reported that he was leaving to join the Tunisian national team. The news of the Belgian national’s exit got many soccer lovers worried as his work not only took Bafana Bafana to the semi-finals of the AFCON 23 which was held in Ivory Coast recently, but our boys went on to beat the number one team in Africa, Morocco, finishing third, and earning the bronze title of the tournament.
Addressing the whole team, the coach said:
“What you heard and what you read, there’s nothing about that. And even, why would I leave such a good team as you.”
