Croatia74-year-old Belgian coach Marc Broos announced his retirement from full-time coaching after the World Cup, despite a strong performance by the South African national team. The team made history by qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 16 years and advancing beyond the group stage to the knockout rounds. After two weeks of consideration, Broos confirmed he would not continue as a coach but might take on a scouting role. He has already begun discussions with the South African Football Association president about staying in a consultant capacity. Broos spent five years coaching the South African national team, leading them to win the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 and securing their first World Cup appearance in 16 years. His departure marks another significant change in the world of international football, as many teams now seek new coaches ahead of upcoming tournaments.
