Pitso Mosimane has confirmed he will not include Helman Mkhalele in his new technical team for Bafana Bafana. Mkhalele, who was a key figure in the team's success under former coach Hugo Broos, was suggested as his successor by Broos himself. However, Mosimane has opted to bring in his own trusted assistants.
The decision marks a shift in strategy for the national team. Mosimane, who was unveiled as Bafana Bafana's new head coach during a press conference in Johannesburg, is assembling a new coaching staff. His focus appears to be on building a team aligned with his vision rather than continuing with the previous setup.
Mkhalele, who had been part of the coaching staff for the past five years, will not be part of the new team. Mosimane has not yet announced who will take over as his assistant, but sources suggest he is actively seeking a new coach to complement his leadership.
The change comes as Bafana Bafana prepares for upcoming matches, including a key fixture against Kenya in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. Mosimane's new team will be under scrutiny as they aim to improve the team's performance on the international stage.
