Five Euro coaches on short list for Bafana job
Safa committee to consider contenders this week and negotiations over contract and salary expected to be rapid
A final list of five candidates to be considered for the vacant Bafana Bafana job has been made and will be considered this week, as the South African Football Association (Safa) seeks to have the issue of the new coach settled sooner rather than later. Business Day has learnt the five are 2017 African Nations Cup-winning coach Hugo Broos; Frenchman Herve Renard (Nations Cup winner with Zambia in 2012 and Ivory Coast in 2015); former Bafana bosses Carlos Queiroz and Stuart Baxter; and former England manager Roy Hodgson. This has not been confirmed officially, as Safa seeks to keep the deliberations secret. Broos is on the list despite a denial from the Cameroonian Football Federation. "No contact has been made so far between Broos and the South African FA‚" a Cameroonian federation statement read. "The coach received several proposals after the Nations Cup, but none has yet received a favourable outcome.
