Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos is not popular. At 69, his triumphs and successes are often forgotten and don’t carry the weight they deserve. And as a personality, Broos isn’t sexy. His calm demeanour can be anathema to supporters who prefer the charisma of modern-day coaches.
This was most evident during his first press conference in Johannesburg. South Africans long for Bafana’s revival, having witnessed the team’s decades-long decline since their 1996 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) triumph. So the media and fans were unimpressed with Broos’ appointment, whose name didn’t resonate like front runner Carlos Queiroz or Bafana all-time top goalscorer Benni McCarthy. Had Broos come to pick up a final retirement cheque, the Belgian coach was asked.
