'Live by the sword, die by the sword,' seems to be the Bafana coach's template.
Hugo Broos has been unashamedly frank in his assessment of the Premier Soccer League and its clubs, listing a series of grievances this week that have made him wonder whether club football is not regarded as more important in this country than the national team.Sundowns were also given a tongue-lashing by Broos, after they sent Thabiso Kutumela for a Covid-19 vaccine on the first day of the current Bafana Bafana camp.
Orlando Pirates have been in his firing-line, after they failed to allow him access to their game against Mamelodi Sundowns on September 25, while Broos was left understandably furious after Buccaneers midfielder Goodman Mosele failed to turn up to the squad for the back-to-back games against Ethiopia, without so much as a phone call.
Golden Arrows’ Pule Mmodi was hammered last month for not having a passport, and Broos was unimpressed with the league in general for organising the final fixtures of last season in the middle of a Fifa international week. The Belgian also claims to have been turned down in his request for a meeting with all the DStv Premiership head coaches.
On the one hand, Broos’ honesty is refreshing in an era where many coaches prefer to play it politically correct. South Africans need not take it personally either, as Broos was apparently similarly volatile in his spell with Cameroon, and that worked out pretty well as the Indomitable Lions won the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.*Castigated the poor management around the national team.Dear South African fans be ready.
