Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>JOHANNESBURG \u2013 New Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos will not be in the dugout for the senior national team\u2019s international friendlies next month, saying he\u2019ll have to leave the country at the end of this month to return home to receive his second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n

The 69-year-old Belgian addressed the South African media for the first time on Wednesday afternoon since being announced as the successor of Molefi Ntseki \u2013 who failed to help the team qualify for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in March \u2013 last week.<\/p>\n

Prior to his appointment, Broos was expected to hit the ground running following the initial schedule of the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers next month. However, he has since been given a breather after Caf postponed the qualifiers from June to September.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the Afcon winning coach will return home until the end of July for his second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. In his absence, he\u2019ll leave his two assistants to run the team, while he will work remotely until his return.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be here in South Africa until the 24th of May because we are living in a world of Covid-19. I got my first vaccine in Belgium and I\u2019ll get the second one in the beginning of June on the fourth. I\u2019ll be protected, seeing that we\u2019ll be travelling a lot,\u201d Broos said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the games that we\u2019ll be playing in June, they\u2019ll be done by my assistants. They\u2019ll be a Belgian and South African assistants. I\u2019ll be monitoring the games in June. I don\u2019t need to be here for those matches because I have confidence in them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broos is yet to establish who his South African assistant will be as he’s still in talks with the South Africa Football Association Technical Team about the requirements that his new deputy must have if they are to succeed as the technical team and Bafana.<\/p>\n

However, he\u2019s already chosen his \u201cBelgian assistant\u201d \u2013 Cedomir Janevski. The 59-year-old Macedonian-born mentor has lived most of his life in Belgium, having grown up there, played football, coached and married from the country as well.<\/p>\n

Janevski will arrive in South Africa next week as he still has to guide his Cyprian side, Olympiakos Nicosia, in a cup final this weekend. Broos is confident Janevski will bring a lot of invaluable knowledge to the team due to their relationship and success over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be no problems with him bringing experience. He coached Club Brugge, and won a cup with them. He coached in Greece, and was a coach of the Macedonian national team. I think he\u2019s experienced and he\u2019s also a friend of mine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Broos is expected to officially sit in Bafana\u2019s dugout for the first time in September when they travel to neighbours Zimbabwe and host Ghana in the World Cup qualifiers. The national team are in Group G in the qualifiers alongside The Warriors, the Black Stars and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n
