The Bafana Bafana job marks the latest destination in the Belgian tactician's long career. For the past 11 years, the Humbeek native has spent the majority of his coaching career leading teams in Africa.
At national team level, Broos has been extremely successful. In 2017, he won the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon, while in the previous edition of the continental spectacle, he helped South Africa finish in third place for the first time in 24 years.
However, the one place on the planet's second-largest continent that did not see the best of Broos was Algeria. The former defender took charge of two clubs in the North African nation: JS Kabylie and NA Hussein Dey. For various reasons, he did not stay long at either club.
According to DZFoot, Broos left Kabylie after two months because then-president Mohand Cherif Hannachi was dictating which players should start. At NA Hussein Dey, it is said to have started better, but after winning only one of his final six matches, the pressure mounted, and Broos ultimately succumbed.
The veteran coach has now recounted his time in Algeria, describing it as an abysmal period in his career.
