Roberto De Zerbi Wins October Manager of the Month at Tottenham

Roberto De Zerbi has claimed his first Premier League Manager of the Month award after Tottenham’s unbeaten October, which included three straight wins.

Tottenham turned a winless league start to October into an unbeaten month and three consecutive victories. Roberto De Zerbi’s reward is his first Premier League Manager of the Month award—a clear marker of the team’s change in momentum.

The run began with a 1-1 draw at Manchester United. Tottenham came back after going a goal and a player down, with Dominic Solanke scoring a stoppage-time equaliser to secure a point.

Their first win followed at home against Coventry City. James Maddison, Omar Marmoush and Ben Davies scored in a 3-1 victory, while Dejan Kulusevski’s return added to the positive mood around the club.

The next test was a trip to rivals Chelsea. A Mike Penders own goal and a solo goal from Mathys Tel gave Tottenham a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge—only their second victory there in the Premier League era, according to the club.

Tottenham closed the month by beating 10-man Crystal Palace 2-0. Archie Gray and Jan Paul van Hecke scored from set pieces, completing a second straight win by that scoreline and extending the unbeaten run.

The award is De Zerbi’s first monthly Premier League prize. He becomes Tottenham’s 10th different manager to win it, the most among Premier League clubs, the club said. The sequence of results gives the recognition a strong foundation: a hard-earned point at Old Trafford, followed by three wins that carried Tottenham through October without a league defeat.
