Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane was named as the 2019-20 Absa Premiership Coach of the Year at the Premier Soccer League (PSL) Awards on Thursday evening.
The now Al Ahly coach guided the Brazilians to a third successive league title, while also winning the Telkom Knockout and Nedbank Cup to win a historic domestic treble.
The former Downs mentor beat off competition from former Kaizer Chiefs boss Ernst Middendorp, whom he pipped to the league title on the final day of the season, and Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler.
