Mngqithi reveals reservations over Bafana Bafana coach Broos' appointment

Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has mixed feelings over the appointment of Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos.

Broos, 69, spent the bulk of his playing and coaching career in Belgium although he also had stints managing clubs in Turkey, Greece and Algeria, while Cameroon is the only national team he has coached.

Mngqithi is hopeful that Broos' presence may bring something positive to South African football, but also questions if a local coach would not have been better suited to the job, in terms of knowing the players specifically.
