DAVID MAIMELA: Good luck to Bafana Bafana s new boss - and all of us
OPINION
Finally, Bafana Bafana has a new boss, as expected. His name is Hugo Broos from Belgium. Typical of South Africa, he already has a nickname – Fa-Fa. Consistent with our well-known trance and hypnotism, many have already said: he is well-qualified , he must rebuild , and let us give him a chance . Those are the three things we have been saying for every coach of Bafana – indeed an extraordinary feat of a trance.
Although Broos has reportedly signed a five-year contract, the average lifespan of a Bafana coach has been two years in the past 15 years. In my previous article, I suggested that we rather take six years’ (that is three AFCONs and two World Cups) leave of absence, I will be the first one to wish the new coach all the success in the world. After all, as a true patriot, I want Bafana to return to glory days.
