Bandari FC Head Coach Bernard Mwalala has been named the Fidelity Insurance/ Sports Journalists Association of Kenya (SJAK) Coach of the month for May/June 2019.
Mwalala was voted by the SJAK garnering 19 points in a hotly contested competition beating Tusker FC's Robert Matano and immediate former Sony FC who got 18 points each.
Fidelity Insurance congratulated Mwalala for the effort and presented him with a trophy and Ksh 75,000 during a brief ceremony held today at the KPA Mbaraki Sports Club grounds.
The Coach attributed his success to the support from players, Bandari FC Board and the sponsor, Kenya Ports Authority.
"I have a great relationship with the KPA Managing Director Dr Arch. Daniel Manduku who has been pivotal in the success of this team, as well as the Board of Trustees of Bandari FC. I dedicate the success to the team for working tirelessly, the fans and the Coastal region as a whole for being more than a family to me," he said.
This is the second time the coach has bagged the prestigious award and he has promised to bring more silverware this coming season.
