Zambian coach Kelvin Kaindu has been named the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League Coach of the Month for August 2026 after guiding Hardrock FC through an impressive run.
Kaindu led the Kwekwe-based side to two league victories during the month, beating Manica 3-0 before edging Hunters 2-1.
Hardrock also enjoyed cup success, knocking Bulawayo Chiefs out of the Chibuku Super Cup to book a place in the quarter-finals, where they will face Scottland FC. The side also recorded success in the Munhumutapa Challenge.
It was a double celebration for Hardrock, with forward Prince Dube named the league’s Player of the Month.
Dube scored two goals and provided two assists during August, making a significant contribution to Hardrock’s strong run.
Hardrock currently sit second in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League with 54 points from 27 matches, three points behind leaders Scottland FC.
Kaindu’s award caps a strong month for the former Power Dynamos and Nkana coach, who has Hardrock firmly in contention at the top end of the Zimbabwean league.
