South Africa faces South Korea on Wednesday, June 24, in Monterrey, Mexico, in a World Cup qualifier, Usa Today reported. Head coach Hugo Broos, 74, said at a Tuesday press conference that he plans to retire after South Africa’s 2026 World Cup campaign. “I don’t want to be remembered for how long,” Broos stated.
Broos began coaching in Belgium in 1988 with Anderlecht and Genk. He later coached Trabzonspor in Turkey starting in 2008 and led Cameroon to its fifth AFCON title in 2017. He has served as South Africa’s head coach since 2021 and guided the team to its second COSAFA Cup title in 2023.
South Africa last appeared in the FIFA World Cup in 2010 as the host nation. Broos cited his age, fatigue from daily football demands, and a desire to spend more time with family as reasons for his planned retirement.
