The seasoned yet controversial manager has also qualified Bafana for the lucrative AFCON tournament that will staged in Cote d’Ivoire and there’s no doubt he is happy with his job.
In addition, Broos has led Bafana to an 11-game unbeaten run in all competitions, one that began in June last year and promises a return to the World Cup.
“It will not be easy away in Rwanda (next Tuesday) and here at home against Benin. Benin, who played a draw against Senegal, have their qualities too,” adds Broos.
