The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has confirmed its final monthly award winners for May, with Abdeslam Ouaddou, Sipho Chaine and Bright Ndlovu recognised for their outstanding performances following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
The winners were selected by an independent panel of PSL-accredited journalists and broadcasters.
Ouaddou secured his third Betway Premiership Coach of the Month award after guiding Orlando Pirates through an unbeaten run of three wins and one draw in four matches. This strong finish proved decisive, as Pirates were crowned Betway Premiership champions, ending a 14-year title drought.
Ouaddou edged out strong competition from Miguel Cardoso of Mamelodi Sundowns, as well as Bernard Parker of TS Galaxy, who stepped up in the final stretch of the campaign, showing improved consistency and guiding his side clear of the relegation zone and playoffs.
Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine claimed his first Betway Premiership Player of the Month award following an outstanding run of form. Across four matches, he recorded four clean sheets, breaking the all-time record for clean sheets in a single season. He concluded the campaign with a remarkable 21 clean sheets, playing a key leadership role in Pirates’ title-winning season.
Meanwhile, Sekhukhune United’s versatile player Bright Ndlovu earned the Goal of the Month award for his outstanding long-range strike against Siwelele FC at Peter Mokaba Stadium on 23 May. The goal showcased his composure and technique and is already regarded as one of the standout strikes of the season.
