Coaching career[edit]
From 1991 to 1998 Broos coached Club Brugge, winning the championship twice in 1992 and 1996. He also won the Belgian Cup in 1991, 1995 and 1996. From 2002 until 2005 he coached Anderlecht. He got the team into the Champions League and his team won the 2003–04 season championship. The following 2004–05 season was a turning point however, and the team were knocked out of the Champions League and the Belgian Cup. After a 0–0 result against Gent, Broos was fired for the first time in his career. Later that year in June, he became coach for KRC Genk and got back at his former team on 30 September by beating them 4–1. During the 2007–08 season Broos left KRC Genk.
Broos won the prestigious Belgian Coach of the Year award four times in his career, twice while coaching Club Brugge (1992 and 1996), once with Anderlecht in 2004, and with KRC Genk in 2007. On 15 December 2008, Broos became coach of the Greek club, Panserraikos, and for the first time in his career, coached outside his home country. Panserraikos had a great campaign in Greek Cup, eliminating Panathinaikos in quarterfinals but lost against AEK Athens in the semis. Later in season Panserraikos couldn't avoid relegation. Broos left Panserraikos and became new coach of Trabzonspor on 22 June 2009 and was released on 22 November 2009. After that he was head coach of Zulte Waregem for half a season, before becoming assistant coach of Al Jazira Club.
He was sacked in 2012 and became manager of the national team of Cameroon.[3] He led the team to victory in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.[4] He took the role of sporting director of K.V. Oostende after being laid-off as Cameroon's coach in February 2018. On 5 May 2021, he was appointed manager of the South Africa national football team.[5] He led South Africa to an impressive bronze at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.[6]
