'We qualify or not, Hugo Broos is not going anywhere, he brought back Bafana Bafana's identity and belief! He must go, Mokwena, McCarthy & Malesela should coach South Africa' - Fans

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has stated that he will step down if his team does not secure a spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Bafana are scheduled to play against Uganda on Friday in an away match, followed by hosting South Sudan at the DHL Stadium on Tuesday, November 19.

The Belgian mentor has instilled renewed hope in Bafana by steering the national team to a commendable third place in the 2023 Afcon. He is now anticipated to qualify the team for the upcoming Afcon edition set to take place in Morocco next year.

After Broos' promise, South African fans expressed mixed opinions regarding his statement. Here, GOAL brings you what supporters shared on social media.

    That is not going to happen Madala!

    As Mzansi, we're not allowing you to catch that flight! You brought back the belief and identity of our beloved Bafana Bafana. Instead, Cde Danny Jordan can take that long-awaited retirement and do business coaching on African FA's - Salamino

    These three deserve the Job!

    I want this man out of that job so Dan Malesela, Benni McCarthy, and Rhulani Mokwena can coach because they deserve that job. This one is riding on Sundowns's success. I need a local brother there - Kamohelo Moloi

    They can die for him...

    The current crop of Bafana players will die on the pitch for Broos because they know with him the chances of Afcon and World Cup participation are real. They further know that he is unlikely to drop any of  them because he is settled with them even though there are no guarantees - Mogadikedi

    A real goat...

    Now this is a real coach. I never seen a Bafana Bafana coach bet on himself like this. I’m afraid Hugo is a goat - Poverty Killer

    That's my wish...

    I wish Bafana Bafana could lose those two games so we can give Benni McCarthy and Rhulani Mokwena a chance to coach the national team - Bra Lunghz

    His players sometimes get too much excited!

    He is right, if players let him down what should he do? Our players undermine their opponents. They only play well against big guns. Where is that Bafana against Algeria? Where is that Bafana against Nigeria? - Nabo Ngubane

    A responsible coach

    This is a real act of a true sportsman who takes responsibility for not meeting his targets - Mtoto wa Nyayo 

  • Thapelo Morena & Khuliso Mudau, Bafana Bafana, June 2024Backpagepix

    I am not yet convinced!

    I still think this Madala (old man) was lucky to find Mamelodi Sundowns players in such form. I am not yet convinced with him to be honest - Mpumelelo Gana

    He revived Bafana Bafana

    If Broos goes, our squad will move back to default, this coach brought some light to our squad, We went to the Afcon semi-finals because of him - Semeka

  • Teboho Mokoena, Bafana Bafana, October 2024Safa

    Broos is joking

    Obviously, he knows that we are going to beat South Sudan, he knows that Uganda is also not a strong team. The old man is just joking - Silence Sy Katisi 

  • Themba Zwane, Bafana BafanaBackpage

    Sundowns' success helping him?

    You are not going anywhere Madala (old man), we won't allow that even though some hate you, claiming you are winning because of Sundowns - Mabero 10
