One woman and four men – that’s the breakdown of the five finalists for the trophy for the best coach of a women’s team. The Confederation of African Football has unveiled the list of the five technicians still in contention to receive the distinction on December 11 in Marrakech, during the CAF Awards. The defending champion, South Africa’s Desiree Ellis, is still in with a chance of repeating the feat. However, there will be stiff competition for this year’s award from Jerry Tshabalala, who won the Champions League with Mamelodi Sundonws’ women’s team, and Reynald Pedros and his historic Women’s World Cup campaign with Morocco.
