Overview
- SAFA’s National Executive Committee approved Pitso Mosimane on Saturday and said a formal announcement will follow once contractual details are finalised.
- Mosimane’s camp has reportedly rejected a verbal R5 million-per-year offer and is seeking pay parity with outgoing coach Hugo Broos plus a single package that includes three trusted assistants.
- The association and Mosimane’s representatives say they want to conclude terms quickly because 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying begins in late September.
- Mosimane is a highly decorated club coach with multiple CAF Champions League titles and prior experience with the national team, while Broos led Bafana to the World Cup and recently stepped down.
- SAFA also faces governance and timing pressure from an elective congress on 12 September, a factor that could shape the final package, the size of Mosimane’s technical staff, and how soon he can start working with the squad.
