The Premier League has named Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi as October’s Manager of the Month.
Roberto De Zerbi led Tottenham to 3 wins and a draw in October, helping the club recover from a difficult start to the season. Tottenham began the month bottom of the Premier League table after failing to win any of their opening 5 matches, but their impressive form lifted them into the top half by the end of October.
In October, Tottenham earned a draw away at Man United with a late goal despite being down to 10 men, before beating Coventry City 3-1.
Roberto De Zerbi then spearheaded Tottenham to a 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the London derby. It was Spurs’ 2nd Premier League away win against Chelsea in 36 years. Tottenham followed that up with another 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, building further momentum.
This is the 1st time Roberto De Zerbi has won the Premier League Manager of the Month award. The last Tottenham manager to receive the honour was Ange Postecoglou, who won it in 3 consecutive months from August to October 2023.
Roberto De Zerbi beat 5 other nominees to win the award: Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso, Bournemouth manager Marco Rose and Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler. The winner was decided by a combination of votes from fans and a panel of experts.
