Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer and striker Gabadinho Mhango have scooped the Absa Premiership Coach and Player of the Month awards for January 2020.
Zinnbauer joined Pirates in December and has made an immediate impact, with the Buccaneers currently sitting in second place on the Absa Premiership log.
He guided Orlando Pirates to four wins out of five matches played. He beat opponents Polokwane City, Mamelodi Sundowns, Highlands Park and AmaZulu, with his team, scoring 10 goals in the process.
Whilst Gabadinho Mhango kicked off the month with a hattrick away to Polokwane City and then secured wins over champions Sundowns and Highlands Park respectively. His terrific scoring form in January has seen him score a total of 14 goals this season so far, making him the leading goal-scorer going into the final stretch of the league.
Both Zinnbauer and Mhango will each receive R5 000 from Absa.
