# Soccer: German coach Ernst Middendorp has urged South African governing body SAFA not to retain Hugo Broos in another role within the Bafana Bafana technical team after he stepped down as head coach. He says any new coach should be given full authority and independence to build the team without the influence of a predecessor. Middendorp explained Broos should either remain head coach or leave the setup entirely, warning his continued presence could undermine the new technical leadership’s authority and identity.
