Roberto De Zerbi has been named Premier League Manager of the Month for masterminding Tottenham’s move off the foot of the table.
Spurs went into October rock bottom and without a win but now sit 11th after a draw at Manchester United was followed by victories over Coventry, Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
They lost their last outing at Leeds on November 7 but can finally look forward after a dismal couple of seasons.
De Zerbi is the first Tottenham boss to win the award since Ange Postecoglou, who claimed it in August, September and October 2023.
The Italian said: “I feel good. I’m happy. I want to say thanks to my players, for my club because it’s not my credit. But, when you are a coach, you work with many, many people and it’s right to say thanks to everybody.”
Villa goal machine Jackson named best player for October
Aston Villa striker Nicolas Jackson won the player of the month award after scoring four times.
The Senegal international netted the equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Brentford, got both goals in a famous 2-1 victory over Manchester City and also scored in the 1-1 draw with Fulham.
Best goal was awarded to Diego Gomez for his 51.3 metre effort for Brighton in the 5-0 hammering of Crystal Palace.
Gomez netted the Seagulls’ second on a memorable afternoon as they put their M23 rivals to the sword at the Amex.
It was the longest distance a Premier League goal had been scored from since Wayne Rooney’s 57.7m effort for Eveton against West Ham United in 2017.
