Zwane credits AmaZulu for winning Coach of the Month Award

Fresh from winning the Coach of the Month award for the period of September and October, AmaZulu coach Arthur Zwane has given credit to the players, the club and the supporters for their success.

I wouldn’t do this work alone. Credit goes to players and the entire technical team

—  Arthur Zwane, AmaZulu headcoach

Zwane walked away with the accolade after guiding Usuthu to five wins in five games over this period. He beat off strong competition from Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, who won the award in August, and Mamelodi Sundowns mentor Miguel Cardoso, whose side remained top of the log.

“Obviously, I wouldn’t do this work alone. Credit goes to players and the entire technical team. The club as well for giving us the support to be able to give our best and [be] able to grind results at the same time,” Zwane told the club media department.

“I think the media department as well, we really appreciate the support from our fans as well. It wouldn’t be possible if our supporters were not coming in numbers to our games in order for us to have a positive way of getting results. It’s simple because of our supporters; they have become our 12th man, more especially when we are playing at home.

“I would like to say thanks to them and everyone and thanks to the league sponsors and the coaches who were nominated.”

Meanwhile, Thapelo Mokobodi was named Player of the Month for September/October after his excellent performances for Pirates, with the Buccaneers also winning all their five games in the period and Mokobodi collecting four assists.

Mokobodi was picked ahead of the AmaZulu duo of Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya and Nkosikhona Radebe, who have been in impressive form.

The Goal of the Month was awarded to Teboho Mokoena for his fine strike against Golden Arrows, beating Vincent Pule’s brilliant free kick against Marumo Gallants and Luphumlo Sifumba, who also scored a brilliant free kick against Milford FC.
