Pitso Mosimane appointed by South Africa ahead of AFCON qualifiers

Pitso Mosimane was confirmed as the new coach of South Africa, replacing Hugo Broos, who retired after leading the team to the knockout stages of the World Cup in North America. Mosimane has just 23 days to prepare the national team for their first 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea. The former South African striker previously managed the team from 2010 to 2012, during which he failed to qualify for the 2012 AFCON.
