The Premier Soccer League has confirmed the recipient for January’s Absa Premiership Coach of the Month.

Orlando Pirates head coach, Josef Zinnbauer has deservedly scooped his first Absa Premiership monthly award, after an outstanding league run in January.

The German tactician lead the Bucs to four out of five wins in the league for January and ever since his appointment at the helm on December 10, Pirates have never suffered a league defeat. 

Pirates are currently in second place on the log, with just one match to go before Zinnbauer heads into his first Soweto Derby against high-flying and top of the log, Kaizer Chiefs. 

The Buccaneers will travel away to face Black Leopards on Sunday afternoon and it remains to be seen whether Pirates will continue on their winning run.
