Michael Nees, who is the current head coach of the Zimbabwe national football team has lauded Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, saying that the team he has built is the example of a perfect model. The South African national team were bronze medalists in the previous edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) that was hosted in Ivory Coast. Nees, who led The Warriors to 2025 AFCON qualification, has acknowledged that Bafana Bafana symbolises what he hopes to achieve with Zimbabwe. “Honestly, it’s not yet all lost in the World Cup qualifiers. We have to do everything to turn the shape around in our matches against Benin and Nigeria in March,” Nees said as per FARPost. “But right now, Bafana Bafana is the model. We need to at least copy what they do and study how they do it. Their courage and fighting spirit is what we all want to have.” “At best, we have to believe in ourselves, which is exactly what they have been doing since their coach took over,” he added. Since the Zimbabwean league is in its off-season, Nees has expressed his primary concern regarding the international schedule. “We don’t know yet when the players are going to be available for us. December has a lot of uncertainty,” Nees said. “Basically, we have three groups of players: those outside of Africa, players in South Africa and players here in Zimbabwe.”
