Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>As South Africa (SA) Coach Hugo Broos will not be in charge of Bafana Bafana during the COSAFA tournament, his assistant Helman Mkhalele has been disqualified.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mkhalele was supposed to take the reigns as Broos\u2019 contract is allegedly said to stipulate that he skips the Council of Southern African Football Associations as well as the African Nations Championship (CHAN) competitions. According to the Sowetan, a renowned South African publication; Mkhalele does not have the required coaching badges to sit on the bench. COSAFA\u2019s 2023 regulations stipulate that, \u201cin line with CAF requirements, all head coaches at the tournament must have CAF Pro, A or B coaching licence. Assistant coaches can have a Pro, A, B or C licence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mkhalele is said to be boasting SAFA Level one badge while he is working on converting it to a CAF badge. According to the media reports, Mkhalele\u2019s situation has left South Africa Football Association (SAFA) with an egg on its face; especially after the association had made it clear the Premier Soccer League (PLS) clubs must hire qualified coaches.<\/p>\n

However, SAFA announced Morena Ramoreboli as Bafana\u2019s COSAFA coach with Raymond Mdaka acting as his assistant on Wednesday. SAFA released a statement confirming that Ramoreboli would take charge, but did not state any reason for Mkhalele\u2019s absence. Ramoreboli recently won the league title with Botswana side Jwaneng Galaxy. He further won the 2021 Holleywoodbets COSAFA Cup with Bafana Bafana. Ramoreboli will name his squad today and enter in full camp on Tuesday in Durban. Meanwhile, Mdaka is the tactician of Marumo Gallants, who steered them to a semi-final finish in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Confederation Cup last season.<\/p>\n

This regional competition will run from July 5 to 16 in Durban, where the battle between the two neighbours is set for July 11. Sihlangu are in the same COSAFA Cup group with Bafana Bafana, Botswana\u2019s Zebras and Brave Warriors of Namibia.<\/p>\n
