Mamelodi Sundowns had a clean sweep of the monthly Absa Premiership awards for April with Pitso Mosimane awarded Coach of the Month, while Percy Tau was named Player of the Month, writes DEAN WORKMAN.

The Brazilians, who secured their eighth PSL title last weekend, were in for more accolades at the monthly awards held at the PSL head offices on Wednesday afternoon.

It was the second time this season that Pitso was named as the month’s top coach, but he reserved special praise for his colleagues, who he says were vital to the overall success of the team.

Percy Tau has enjoyed a stellar campaign and has been largely tipped to win the Player of the Season award. The striker has scored a league-high 11 goals and revealed that the only difference between this season and the last is that he has taken the chances that have come his way.

Sundowns will take on Bloemfontein Celtic in the last game of the season on Saturday, with kick-off at 3pm.
