AmaZulu coach Pablo Franco Martin is proud of the club’s growth under his tenure this season.
The former Real Madrid assistant coach joined Usuthu this term following the dismissal of Romain Folz.
His side are currently in seventh place on the DStv Premiership standings with five wins, seven draws and just four defeats from 16 league games.
They last overturned Royal AM 3-0 at the weekend, to make it three wins and and two draws from KwaZulu-Natal derbies.
Speaking to the Citizen, Martin expressed his delight at his side’s continued improvement.
He said: “Last season we played eight official derbies and recorded four draws and four losses.
“This year, we have secured three wins and two draws already, surpassing last season’s tally with several games left.
“All of us deserve good holidays, and after that, we will have a mini pre-season to gear up for the second half of the season.”
Martin added: “We want to keep growing, aiming for the upper part of the table.”
AmaZulu are next in action against Stellenbosch on 13 February.
