Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos says despite Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki being upset over his latest comments, he plans to set up a meeting with his counterpart to clear the air.

Broos had a tongue-lashing towards journalists who misconstrued his words about Chiefs players, which led to Ntseki retaliating with comments of his own towards the Belgian coach.
Having set the record straight on his comments, Broos revealed his plans to smooth out his relationship with Ntseki, who he knows very well, while revealing he wanted to appoint the Chiefs mentor as his national team assistant coach two years ago.
"First of all, after the game against DR Congo, I go back to Belgium for two weeks because after that I have October and November, so I have to be here, that's why I will see my family for two weeks," Broos told journalists at a press conference at FNB Stadium.
"After those two weeks, I will make contact with Ntseki because I know him very well. I had a few meetings [with him] when I first came here because my first idea was to have him as my assistant - but it didn't work, and then came Helman [Mkhalele] with whom I am very happy.
"So, I know him very well and I know that he's upset because I said that his players currently don't deserve to be in Bafana Bafana because of their performance. But I didnt say he didn't change anything because then I'm attacking a colleague on his skills - and I will never do that. It's worse when someone else puts those words in your mouth, so that he has to know.
"I will make contact with him when I get back," Broos continued.
