Pitso Mosimane was confirmed as South Africa's head coach on Tuesday, 24 days after the national football association approved his appointment on August 8. Association president Danny Jordaan had noted the need to "tie up some loose ends," but the delay was unexpectedly long. Mosimane succeeds Belgian Hugo Broos, 74, who retired after leading South Africa to the knockout stages of a World Cup for the first time in North America this year.
