Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has been named All Football Coach of the Month for October.
Ernersto Valverde leads our All Football Coach of the Month five-man list of nominees, beating Arsenal coach Unai Emery, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri & Co to the award with the most votes from Afers.
The 54-year-old kept Barcelona unbeaten last month, topping La Liga table and Champions League group B.
With the help of Lionel Messi, Valverde's side sealed convincing victories against Tottenham Hotspur in Champions League and La Liga title contenders Sevilla. The Argentina also rescued one point for Barcelona in Valencia draw.
After Messi picking up an arm injury, the Barcelona coach triggered the bomb called Luis Suarez who scored a stunning hat-trick against Real Madrid in Clasico thrashing and delivered one assist to beat Inter in Champions League win.
After an unsatisfying September, Valverde refixed Sergi Roberto on right-back, who produced excellent energy output together with Jordi Alba as the two Spanish full-backs delivered 6 assists in total in October. Brazilian starlet Arthur also made great strides in Barcelona midfield under the Spanish coach.
With Messi's return drawing near, can Valverde lead Barcelona to another wonderful month?

Honestly, he full doesn't deserve it. He's basically Lopetugui with Suarez and Messi. Take them away he will be sacked by October rather than named coach of October lol. If Pep has this team he would be tearing the la liga teams a new hole... Valverde is barely winning and he has amazing squad depth...

I think Unai Emery or Pep were far better choices.

Even Sarri too. Valvarde is a massive fraud. Lopetugui level, saved by Messi and Suarez continually...

I don't know about this coach , Barca is not playing great football, we are just lucky that many teams are playing like shit too , I'll give him props for the changes in the real game ,but we need a coach that can make this team flow, we have the most talented players in the world and we got outclassed by rayo ,with all due respect to their hard work and smart players, but Barca shouldn't have to break a sweat against the smaller teams .if we win the champions league like Madrid did the last 3 years , lucky strikes , shady calls , long added times in their favor and so on and so forth ,playing ugly football with one man saving their ass half of the time .I went even enjoy the win , I love Barca because I love the beautiful game, el jogo Bonito and lately we don't look pretty at all .and please stop praising this man for beating real ,they look worse than we do this season.

I think Lucien Favre deserved it as much as Valverde..But hats off to Valverde for holding on and managing Barca exceptionally without their talisman, The King Leo
