was named the Women's Coach of the Year for a third successive time at the 2022 CAF Awards in Rabat, Morocco, on Thursday.
Ellis, a former Banyana player, replaced Vera Pauw on an interim basis in 2016 while the South African Football Association searched for a replacement. And with that confirmation signed and settled, Ellis further fine-tuned her charges and laid claim to what was a phenomenal 2018 for women's football in South Africa.
In 2019, Ellis retained the Women's Coach of the Year gong - and with the Covid-19 pandemic wreaking havoc in 2020 and 2021 - Thursday's award made her feat in Morocco a third successive one.
