CAF Nominates Jerry For Womens Coach Of The Year Award

Mamelondi sundowns fc ladies coach Jerry Tshabalala has made the final shortlist for the CAF womens coach of the year award.

Jerry has become popular in Zambia after his statement on super sport Tv on Monday night when he was appearing on a 2022 WAFCON post match show as a pundit .

The Sundowns coach urged South Africans “NOT TO BE PROUD” of the Banyana Banyana’s WAFCON semifinal win against Zambia describing it as an unfair victory which came as a result of poor officiating by Ethiopian referee Lydia Tafessa who awarded South Africa a controversial penalty in the last minute after a VAR check.

“ That’s not even a penalty. The contact was even outside the box. We shouldn’t be proud as South Africans that we won a game of football like that.” He said on live Tv.

Jerry has however, received massive blacklash from South Africans who have labeled him unpatriotic over his statement on Monday night. Those who have criticized him include South Africa womens team player Janine Wyk who said “no matter your opinion on the penalty , we received it and capitalized,”

Jerry became the first Womens team coach to win the first ever CAF womens champions league after he did so with Mamelondi Sundowns last season.
