The South African Football Association (SAFA) is expected to announce the appointment of Pitso Mosimane as the new Bafana Bafana head coach.
The announcement is expected to be made at 11am this morning during a press conference.
Mosimane will replace Hugo Broos, who left his post after the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup, which was co-hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States. The Belgian led South Africa to the knockout round of the global showpiece for the first time in their history.
Mosimane is set for a second permanent stint in charge of the national team, having previously led Bafana from 2010 to 2012.
He was released by SAFA after South Africa failed to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
Mosimane’s mmediate task will be to prepare Bafana for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
Bafana Bafana are scheduled to face Guinea and Eritrea in back-to-back AFCON qualifiers next month as they begin their campaign for a place at the continental tournament.
