The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has announced the winners for the Betway Premiership Coach of the Month, Player of the Month and Goal of the Month for the period of September and October.
It was a congested period for South African football as the league battled with MTN8, CAF continental competitions, as well as an extended international break, but there was still plenty of Premiership action, including unbeaten runs for the teams in the top three positions — Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu.
And unsurprisingly, the winner of the Coach of the Month came from one of these teams above, with Arthur Zwane walking away with the accolade after guiding Usuthu to five wins in five games over this period.
Zwane beat off strong competition from Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, who won the award in August, and Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso, whose side remain top of the log.
Meanwhile, Thapelo Mokobodi was named Player of the Month for September/October after his excellent performances for Orlando Pirates, with the Buccaneers also winning all their five games in the period and Mokobodi collecting four assists.
Mokobodi was picked ahead of a closely contested selection with AmaZulu duo of Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya and Nkosikhona Radebe who have been in impressive form.
Last but not least, the Goal of the Month was awarded to Teboho Mokoena for his fine strike against Golden Arrows, beating Vincent Pule’s brilliant free-kick against Marumo Gallants and Luphumlo Sifumba, who also scored a brilliant free-kick against Milford FC.
