Maidstone United boss Hakan Hayrettin named National League South manager-of-the-month for April

Title-winning Maidstone boss Hakan Hayrettin has collected another award after being named National South manager-of-the-month for April.

United won all five of their league matches in April to clinch the championship with two games to spare, beating Havant, Chippenham, Dartford, Hemel and Chelmsford.

It's a second monthly prize for Hayrettin, 52, who also took the December award this season.

“I’m so, so pleased for everyone connected, I think the team were unbelievable, to a man,” said Hayrettin, after his side clinched the league title at the end of last month.

“I’m not an easy manager to play for, I push and pull and I probe to get the best out of them, and I’ve done that.

“We put every ounce of energy into the job we do to get results."
