Orlando Pirates manager Abdeslam Ouaddou received recognition as Betway Premiership coach for September and October after leading his squad through those months without defeat. The announcement came on Tuesday and marks the first time the Moroccan tactician has earned the monthly honor since joining the club. His team collected maximum results during the evaluation period while maintaining fourth position with 19 points through nine matches.
The Buccaneers recorded 11 goals and allowed four under his guidance, demonstrating a balanced performance that keeps them three points behind league leaders. Ouaddou has implemented a pressing system and emphasized developing younger players since his arrival. Golden Arrows midfielder Siyanda Ndlovu earned player recognition for the same timeframe after contributing goals and assists that lifted his team to eighth place with 16 points.
Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs share the summit on 22 points, separated only by their scoring margins. Pirates last captured the championship in 2012, and supporters view the current form as encouraging for their title pursuit. Sekhukhune United trails by one point in third while several clubs remain tightly grouped in standings that reflect competitive balance across the division.
