Kaizer Chiefs icon and Orlando Pirates star bag PSL awards

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has announced winners for the September and October Coach and Player of the Month Awards with one surprise name on the list.

In a month that featured Betway Premiership, Carling Knockout, MTN8 and continental matches, Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu were the most consistent sides.

Despite Sundowns being top of the log with Pirates second, it is AmaZulu’s Arthur Zwane who was crowned the Coach of the Month after guiding Usuthu to six wins out six in September and October.

The Kaizer Chiefs legend had a great spell during that period with his team, starting with a 2-1 win over Richards Bay in the league before edging Marumo Gallants 1-0 and followed it up with another 1-0 and then a 2-1 victory over Polokwane City and Durban City in the top flight.

AmaZulu then beat Kruger United 1-0 in the Carling Knockout quarter-final before finishing the month with a 1-0 triumph over Golden Arrows in the league.

Zwane beat competition from Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso and his Pirates counterpart Abdeslam Ouaddou.

Who else was awarded in September/October?
