'If Ngezana can give us the same level he has in Romania, we could be settled again (at centre back) for the future,' said the Bafana head coach.
'If Ngezana can give us the same level he has in Romania, we could be settled again for the future,' said the Bafana head coach.
Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos says former Kaizer Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezana was close to being named in the squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, after calling up the Romania-based defender for the first time on Monday for friendlies against Andorra and Algeria later this month. Broos also said that the 26 year-old Ngezana is a younger option who could cement his place as a long-term replacement for 32 year-old Siyanda Xulu.“Ngezana was a point of discussion for AFCON, whether to take him with us or not,” said Broos on Monday, as he named a 23-man squad for the two games.“He was playing very well in Romania, but he had never been with us so in the end we didn’t make the change.
