Tottenham Hotspur head coach Roberto De Zerbi has been officially named Premier League Manager of the Month for October, topping the combined vote from a panel of football experts and supporters.

The accolade serves as clear recognition of the Italian tactician's work in turning Tottenham's campaign around. After enduring a sluggish start to the season, Spurs posted the strongest record of any side in the English top flight across October.

The honour marks the first Premier League Manager of the Month award of De Zerbi’s career. He also becomes the first Tottenham boss to claim the prize since Ange Postecoglou, who swept three consecutive monthly awards between August and October 2023.

De Zerbi beat out a competitive six-man shortlist to claim the trophy, finishing ahead of Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, Aston Villa’s Unai Emery, Chelsea’s Xabi Alonso, Bournemouth’s Marco Rose, and Brighton’s Fabian Hürzeler.
