The South African Football Association (SAFA) confirmed Pitso Mosimane as the new Bafana Bafana coach on Tuesday morning succeeding Belgian Hugo Broos, whose five-year contract expired in July.
The former Al Ahly and Mamelodi Sundowns mentor returned to the Bafana hot seat 14 years after he was fired as their coach. He was confirmed at SAFA House in Nasrec, Johannesburg.
Mosimane is the most successful coach in South Africa by far. He coached Bafana between 2010 and 2012 and got the boot after the national team struggled during the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The 62-year-old Mosimane is the only South African coach to have won three CAF Champions League trophies – two with Al Ahly and one with Sundowns.
