Hugo Broos warns South African football would go backwards should they appoint Pitso Mosimane

Hugo Broos is not a fan of Pitso Mosimane taking over as Bafana Bafana coach.

Broos left the Bafana coaching post last month and Mosimane is front-runner to replace the Belgian gaffer at the national side.

But Broos has given his opinion on what he makes of Mosimane.

"South Africa still don't have a coach," said Broos told on Het Nieuwsblad.

"The candidate is Pitso Mosimane, a successful South African coach. But they know that if he comes in, they'll go five years back in time."

"Club owners and agents calling coaches to influence the squad selection. I threw all of them out. If one called, I would say bluntly: 'I don't talk with agents'."

Mosimane's appointment is expected to be made official this week.
