'This was a scam because Benni did not win anything' - Khanye feels Mngqithi and Mokwena were robbed of PSL award

The 35-year-old pointed out that having players like Memela and Mulenga made McCarthy's job easier at the KwaZulu-Natal side

Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye strongly believes that Mamelodi Sundowns co-head coaches Rhulani Mokwena and Manqoba Mngqithi should have won the PSL Coach of the Season accolade.

The duo was beaten to the award by AmaZulu FC head coach Benni McCarthy, who steered Usuthu to a second-place finish in the league and qualification for the Caf Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.

While Mngqithi and Mokwena were nominated for the accolade after they guided Sundowns to the PSL title with the team recording just one defeat in the entire campaign and Khanye feels that two tacticians were robbed.
