Arthur Zwane keeping feet on the ground as he scoops PSL award

Zwane was named the PSL’s coach of the month for September and October after leading his side to five victories in that period, and has Usuthu sitting in third position on the Betway Premiership table heading into the international break.

The former speedy winger cautioned against getting ahead of themselves, and believes there’s still work to do.

"We still have a long way to go because we've only played nine games. The season is still young and there are many aspects we need to improve on before we can say we are going for the league title. We are just taking it one game at a time in humble fashion."

Zwane’s side were eliminated from the Carling Knockout by Stellenbosch FC yesterday, and he says they are still building their identity as a team with a lot of youngsters who lack top flight experience.

He believes they can only improve the more they play matches of this magnitude, and says they were unlucky not to make the semi-finals of the Carling Knockout Cup.

Meanwhile, Zwane also spoke about impressive right back Nkosikhona Radebe and his future Bafana Bafana prospects, calling on him to keep improving his game if he’s going to catch the eye of coach Pitso Mosimane.

"Radebe has been playing very well for us, but I still believe he can do far better but he is moving in the right direction. The coaches at that level know exactly who they want and what they want from the players they choose, and it's up to them to decide who is ready and who isn't."
