Hugo Broos Becomes Oldest Coach in World Cup History
Hugo Broos, the current coach of South Africa, made history by becoming the oldest coach to reach the knockout phase of the FIFA World Cup at the age of 74 years and 79 days. This record surpasses the previous holder, Oscar Tabarez, who was 71 years old when he guided Uruguay to the quarter-finals in 2018.
South Africa was eliminated from the tournament after a 1-0 defeat to Canada in the round of 32, with the decisive goal scored by Stephen Eustaquio during stoppage time. This loss means that South Africa will not advance to the round of 16 in the tournament.
