On-form TS Galaxy midfielder Puso Dithejane and Orlando Pirates mentor Abdeslam Ouaddou have scooped their second Betway Premiership Player and coach of the month awards.

This follows the official announcement by the Premier Soccer League on Wednesday for November and December.

Dithejane previously won the award in August after playing a pivotal role in Galaxyโ€™s impressive run, contributing three goals and two assists in five matches. This includes a first hat-trick against Chippa United.

For November and December, Dithejane earned the Player of the Month award after continuing with his rich vein of form this season.

ABDESLAM OUADDOU SCOOPS HIS SECOND SUCCESSIVE BETWAY PREMIERSHIP AWARD

Meanwhile, it was a back-to-back Betway Premiership Coach of the Month accolades for Pirates coach, Abdeslam Ouaddou, whose tactics ensured Pirates go into the break at the summit of the log.

Ouaddou steered the Buccaneers’ ship to four victories and a draw in five outings to earn his second award of the season ahead of strong competition from Polokwane City head coach Phuthi Mohafe, as well as AmaZuluโ€™s Arthur Zwane. Ouaddou also scooped the award last month.

Meanwhile, the Betway Premiership Goal of the Month went to Cemran Dansin, who claimed his first-ever award in his maiden season with the senior side.

The 20-year-oldโ€™s well-taken volley from outside the box in Piratesโ€™ 1-1 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns on 1 November, also caught global football attention and was voted the best goal for the period under review.

He edged AmaZuluโ€™s Riaan Hanamubโ€™s wonder goal against Lamontville Golden Arrows, as well as Haashim Domingoโ€™s curler against Orbit College.
