Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler has claimed the April 2022 DStv Premiership Coach of the Month award after guiding the Citizens through the month unbeaten.
City scored three victories and two draws in five April matches. They won 5-1 over Baroka FC, then beat Maritzburg United 1-0 away from home. The two wins were followed by draws with Royal AM and champions Mamelodi Sundowns before a 2-1 win away at Kaizer Chiefs.
Tinkler came out tops ahead of the Sundowns coaching duo Manqoba Mngqithi and Rhulani Mokwena as well as John Maduka of Royal AM.
Peter Shalulile won another monthly awards accolade after scoring an impressive six goals in three games, which were back-to-back hat tricks in victories over Swallows FC and Golden Arrows. Shalulile maintained his great scoring form this season as he remains top goal scorer with 22 goals after 29 matches.
Kaizer Chiefs’s Keegan Dolly walked home with the DStv Premiership Goal of the Month award for April, for his free-kick against Chippa United. This is Dolly’s second GOM award of the 2021/22 season.
For their awards, Tinkler and the two players will each receive a trophy and R7, 000 courtesy of league sponsors, DStv.
