The 2019/20 PSL Awards winners have been announced with Pitso Mosimane among the big successes at the prestigious event hosted on Thursday evening.
With the coronavirus pandemic still rife in South Africa, the annual awards were hosted via a virtual event ahead of the inaugural DStv Premiership campaign that kicks off this weekend.
In a memorable finale of the Absa Premiership, which ended after a 13-year association with the South African top-flight, there were several standout performers.
With Mamelodi Sundowns securing a domestic treble, it comes as no surprise to see former Brazilians mentor Mosimane walk away with the coveted honour.
The new Al Ahly head coach pipped ex-Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp, who rivalled him for the title, and Eric Tinkler, who transformed Maritzburg United into top-eight finishers after narrowly surviving relegation in the 2018/19 season.
