Jorge Jesus, Filipe Cândido, Bruno Varela, Pepe, Jordão and Leandro were also rewarded

Pedro Gonçalves (aka Pote) times two. Sporting CP's midfielder stood out during the matchdays of September and October, thus earning two awards: Best Midfielder of the Month and Best Player of the Month. A 'Pote' full of magic, which an expression that is being frequently used in the vocabulary of the Portuguese football.

Gonçalo Ramos was also one of the coaches' favourites. SL Benfica B's young striker scored seven goals in just four games, and was chosen by the Liga Portugal SABSEG managers as the MVP during this period.

Santa Clara's Thiago Santana just keeps on delivering with his goals. The 27-year-old Brazilian won Best Forward of the Month in the Liga NOS, after averaging one goal per game in the competition. Definitely a lethal striker.

At the defensive sector, with a crucial role on keeping a clean sheet for their teams, we have the Best Defender of the Month, Pepe (FC Porto), and the Best Goalkeeper of the Month, Bruno Varela (Vitória SC).

On the other hand, Jorge Jesus won Best Manager of the Month in the Liga NOS, after leading SL Benfica to five wins in five matches. At  the Liga Portugal SABSEG, CD Mafra's coach received this distinction.

Last but not least, the fans chose their favourite goals of these months: Jordão (SC Farense vs FC Famalicão) in the Liga NOS; Leandro (SC Covilhã vs Vilafranquense) in the Liga Portugal SABSEG.
