Polokwane City coach and player win accolades of the month for October
Coach and Player of the Month awards for October.
Polokwane City has been recognised in both the Absa Premiership Coach and Player of the Month awards for October, thanks to their impressive form in the league last month.
Coach Josef Vukusic and club captain Jabulani Maluleke have bagged the Coach and Player of the Month awards respectively. This recognition was the first time the club had made a clean sweep at the individual monthly awards held at the Premier Soccer League office today.
Slovakian coach, Vukusic, took home his first coach of the month award since joining Polokwane City at the start of the 2018/19 Absa Premiership season. Polokwane City’s good form during the month has catapulted the club into fourth spot on the Absa Premiership log table. Vukusic guided his side to two victories and a draw in October – 1-0 away win at Kaizer Chiefs, 1-1 draw with SuperSport United and then closed off the month with a gritty 1-0 win over Maritzburg United.
Maluleke (36), meanwhile, arguably the most consistent player in the Absa Premiership, was singled out as the best performing player in October owing to his incredible skill in midfield for his Rise and Shine team.
The Soweto-born Maluleke, who is also City’s set-piece specialist, today won his first player of the month award in his 13th year in top flight football.
