Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos is expected to be named as the new man in charge of the Tunisian national team, according to a report.
Mosaique FM reports that Tunisia are currently waiting on Broos to negotiate his exit with the South African Football Association.
Last week, Broos dismissed reports linking him with the role of technical director at Belgium’s Club Brugge as “just rumours” and last month denied claims he had been in contact with Tunisia or Algeria.
“I have a contract until 2026, so if there will be a moment that maybe I can leave or want to leave South Africa, then I still have to negotiate with SAFA.”
Broos is currently in Algeria with Bafana Bafana, who will play the north Africans in a Fifa Series friendly on Tuesday evening.
Dubbed the “Fifa Series”, these friendly matches will be contested every March of an even year by national teams from different confederations who do not normally have the opportunity to play each other.
For the pilot edition, Algeria is one of the countries that has been picked to host. It welcomed Bafana Bafana, along with Andorra and Bolivia. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan and Sri Lanka are also hosts.
Broos led Bafana Bafana to their best finish at the Africa Cup of Nations in 24 years when they came back from Ivory Coast with the bronze medal.
