Hugo Broos has coached Bafana Bafana since May 2021 , so as of June 2026 he has been in charge for a little over five years.

Timeline

  • Appointed: 5 May 2021.
  • By May 2025, he had already reached four years in the role and became Bafana Bafana’s longest-serving coach.
  • In June 2026, reports said his spell had gone past five years.

In plain terms

That means Broos’ stint is not just long for Bafana Bafana — it’s the longest coaching run in the team’s history.

Bottom line

So the simple answer is: about five years and a bit.
