“I would like to dedicate this award to Junior Starlets players and members of the technical bench, because without them, I could not have achieved this feat. This award is a big motivation for us, especially as we prepare to play against Cameroon in a home and away World Cup qualifier starting this Sunday,” Cheche said.
Coach Katya had a remarkable month with Kabras Sugar, leading his team to the Kenya Cup final and maintaining an unbeaten streak of 40 matches.
Similarly, Ndayiragire saw Kenya Police finish the month without a loss, remaining at the top of the FKF Premier League standings.
