Doctor Khumalo Reacts to Rumours of Broos to Tunisia, Bafana's Outing Against Andorra

• Doctor Khumalo has reacted to the reports linking Hugo Broos away from Bafana Bafana
• The Belgian tactician is reportedly close to becoming Tunisia's new national team manager
• The Kaizer Chiefs legend acknowledged South Africa's national team would miss the Belgian

Kaizer Chiefs legend, Doctor Khumalo, has commented on recent rumours linking Bafana Bafana coach, Hugo Broos, with Tunisia ahead of the Algeria clash.

Reports have it that the Belgian boss has agreed to a deal with the Tunisian Football Federation to become the next coach of the Eagles of Carthage.

The TFF parted ways with Jalel Kadri after he failed to see the Tunisian national team through to the knockout stages at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast.

Montasser Louhichi is currently managing the 2004 AFCON winners on an interim basis, but the Carthage Eagles would be seeking a new permanent coach to replace Kadri.

In an interview with SoccerZone, as per iDiskiTimes, Khumalo insisted that the South African national team would miss the former Club Brugge manager if the rumours were true.

"We would miss him when he is gone," he said. "It finally looks like we're going somewhere; we are going where he wants. We're no longer talking about development but progression; the national team is progressing."

The Kaizer Chiefs legend added:

"The boys that came onboard for these two friendly games - we don't know what will transpire against Algeria - but against Andorra, I was happy with 60-70% of the players."

South Africa will host the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations winners at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Tuesday evening for their last international friendly game of this break.
