Puso Dithejane and Abdeslam Ouaddou take top PSL awards for November and December
This marks the second award of the season for both the Pirates coach and Galaxy midfielder.
Dithejane continued his fine run of form, playing a pivotal role in Galaxy's impressive performances over the past two months.
The attacking midfielder scored once and provided two assists, helping his side finish the year in the top eight of the Betway Premiership. He edged out strong contenders Oswin Appollis of Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu FC's Athini Maqokolo to claim the accolade.
For Ouaddou, it was back-to-back Coach of the Month awards. The French-Moroccan tactician guided Pirates to four wins and a draw in five outings, ensuring the team goes into the Christmas break at the summit of the league table.
He triumphed over stiff competition from Polokwane City coach Phuthi Mohafe and AmaZulu's Arthur Zwane.
Meanwhile, the Betway Premiership Goal of the Month went to 20-year-old Cemran Dansin, who scored a stunning volley from outside the box in Pirates' 1-1 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns on 1 November.
The strike, which caught international attention, edged out AmaZulu's Riaan Hanamub and Haashim Domingo for the award, marking Dansin's first career PSL accolade in his maiden senior season.
Winners were determined by an independent panel of PSL-accredited journalists and broadcasters.
