BULAWAYO Chiefs head coach John Nyikadzino was honoured on Saturday.
He was named Zifa Southern Region Division One September Coach of the Month.
Nyikadzino was awarded US$200 after their game against Megawatt, which was played at a packed Bulawayo Chiefs Village.
Chiefs beat the power utility company 2-0.
“It’s a great honour to win such a monthly award. It’s all about team effort and I am grateful to other members of the technical team and the players.
“We will continue working hard as a team to achieve more,” said Nyikadzino.
Bulawayo Chiefs dismissed visiting Megawatt with a 2-0 scoreline to take their points tally to 67, two ahead of second-placed Hwange, who got three points from a fixture they did not play against Ajax Hotspurs, who are no longer part of the league.
However, Bulawayo Chiefs now look poised to clinch the championship and quickly bounce back into the country’s elite football league.
Third-placed Nkayi United drew one-all against Bulawayo City to go on 59 points.
Hwange-based Blackrock played a one-all draw against Victoria Falls City, while Eagle Life lost 1-0 at the hands of Casymn.
Talen Vision drew one all with Nust while Bulawayo Warriors were beaten 3-2 by Mkhokheli Dube’s Zebra Revolution.
Plumtree-based Minline were 1-0 winners over Mainline. Jordan Sinnot beat Bosso 90 1-0
