AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy has been confirmed as the winner of another Premier Soccer League award.

The Durban-based giants coach has been honoured for his side’s impressive displays over the last two months. And today he received the DStv Premiership Coach of the Month award.

McCarthy guided his side to seven wins in eight games over the course of March and April. And he has thus been awarded the monthly gong for a second successive time this season.

Usuthu are the only remaining team still in mathemtical contention for the league title with Mamelodi Sundowns, who hold a seven-point lead with only four games remaining.

It has been the KwaZulu-Natal outfit’s incredible run of 16-games unbeaten that currently see them in second position. And the PSL’s panel of judges believe the former Bafana Bafana striker stood head and shoulders above his counterparts in the last two months.

“Benni McCarthy has been recognized for AmaZulu’s near-perfect Dstv Premiership record in March/April by claiming the DStv Premiership Coach of the Month.” Read a statement from the League.

“McCarthy’s Usuthu began the month of March with a 1-0 victory over SuperSport United and went on to further triumph in six more games and played to a draw against defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns – the only game they failed to score in out of eight outings.”

AmaZulu goalkeeper Veli Mothwa was also crowned Player of the Month for March/April after conceding only two goals and keeping six clean sheets in eight appearances.

Kaizer Chiefs striker Samir Nurkovic, meanwhile, was confirmed as the winner of the Goal of the Month award, as voted for by supporters on the PSL’s website.
