Let Broos be; he has earned the right to name his team

Coach doing well to shut out noise of 'experts' on socials

English coach Sam Allardyce is not one of the most decorated coaches in the world, but he is one of the most straight-talking managers.

At West Ham, he was not the best of friends with the club’s hard-to-please supporters.

“I once called the supporters deluded and I stand by that,” he once said.

The supporters were not too impressed and those remarks caused significant controversy among The Hammers faithful.

Jose Mourinho was another maverick coach who was not too shy to call his club’s supporters to order when they acted like bozos.

Back in Mzansi, Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos’ love and hate relationship with a section of the South African football supporters, more so, the self-proclaimed social media soccer experts, continues unabated. But Broos has chosen the diplomatic path - the coach has been coached that the cultures between the EPL and South Africa’s PSL are worlds apart - he was gonna be hounded out like a death row prisoner at a nun’s convention if he was to take the same route as Big Sam or The Special One.
