Going up against Ochola in the category is Shabana FC head coach Peter Okidi and Dusan Stojanovic of Kenya Police FC. Okidi’s Shabana defensive ability saw them concede just one goal in the month where they won half of their games.
Stojanovic has the highest win percentage of the three nominees (57%) but hasn’t been good defensively with his team conceding 6 goals while scoring 7 goals.
