Broos' job not at risk if Bafana fail to qualify for 2023 Afcon: 'The ball is in his court'

South African Football Association (SAFA) president Danny Jordaan assured Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos that there was no jeopardy to his role if SA failed to make it to Ivory Coast for next year's Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
