SAFA not closing door on Hugo Broos beyond 2026 World Cup

Broos, who turns 74 next month, will complete five years as head coach in May and previously indicated that he intends to call time on his coaching career after the global showpiece, which will be hosted in the United States, Mexico and Canada. 

However, the SAFA leadership has not closed the door on discussions beyond the June-July spectacle, according to Jordaan. 

"One of the things that's delivered success for our national teams – because many people ask, 'Why are you achieving success now?' The reason is simple," said Jordaan.

"We have not changed coaches over the last four years and before the expiry of their contracts – Hugo Broos has been serving his contract, we have to discuss with him.

"He's indicated that at the end of his contract he'll have reached his retirement age, but we still have a conversation to have."

SAFA has in the past experienced frequent coaching changes at senior national team level, but Jordaan believes the recent stability has been central to the improved performances of both Bafana and Banyana Banyana.

"Desiree Ellis has been with us for 10 years – never in the history of South African football have you had a coach appointed and staying the course, and it's been difficult, very often people suggest why this or that coach must go," he added.

"And if you look at club football, you will see the first thing to do is to change the coach as if the change in coach is going to change the fortune of the team – just the opposite is true.

"Coaches must be given the opportunity to settle the team, scan the landscape of availabe talent and then decide which players are best suited for my team and can deliver.

"We have seen, in the last 11 years I think we have had 21 coaches, so before the coach makes his second choice, his changes, you see the spectators, if a players misses a goal, they ask for a change of the coach, and this is one problem we realised cannot continue."
