“The 27th [of April] is so far. We have a final on Saturday [referring to tomorrow’s league tie]. I try to express to the players that we are going game by game.” the Orlando Pirates coach told SowetanLive.

“I think we are the team of the month more than the coach of the month. I take it [the accolade], it’s fine… there are always going to be individual awards in football.

“It was a fantastic month, the performances of the team were brilliant and we managed to get fantastic results.

“The truth of the matter is that we were probably the best team in the month, hopefully we can do it again now in May.”
