Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has made PSL history after being named Coach of the Month for the third month running, while SuperSport United’s Sipho Mbule was named the Player of the Month for November.
The German became the first coach in the history of the award to be named Coach of the Month after receiving the award for November.
Chiefs started the campaign on fire as Middendorp went on to claim the Coach of the Month award for August and the combined award for September/October.
Amakhosi continued their relentless form as they maintained their 10-point gap throughout November, and after four wins out of four in November the German coach continued his clean sweep of the awards in the 2019-20 season.
Congrats Coach

SuperSport also enjoyed a charge up the table during November and Mbule was at the heart of their good run of form pulling all the strings in their midfield.
