Premier League Manager of the Month season of 2016- 17 Winners
Mauricio Pochettino [April 2017]
It cannot be denied that Mauricio Pottechino deserved the award. He ensured A 100% record from six matches in April which was helpful for Tottenham Hotspur in the full season. The former Argentina defender has made more than 300 appearances for Espanyol before retiring in 2006. His contribution helped Tottenham to lock their position among the top 4 Clubs last season. He did it after winning his second Copa del Rey title with the Barcelona-based side at the age of 34.
Eddie Howe [March 2017]
His first Premier League accolade was the gift of Two victories and a draw at Old Trafford. Eddie Howe led the club AFC Bournemouth to 16th position knowing that it was their first top-flight season. This ensured at least another year for the club in the Premier League. He was undoubtedly helpful for the team to make it to the top 10.
Josep Guardiola [February 2017]
Joseph Guardiola was the guide for Manchester City as he helped the club to attain an incredible 100% record, scoring eight and conceding once in three Premier League matches. February 2017 was his month for sure. This the former FIFA World Coach of the Year has only of Manager of the Month award yet.
Paul Clement [January 2017]
He enabled the club to go for Three victories in four matches in January 2017, including a victory at Anfield. He has rightfully been given the best manager of the month award. Given it was his first month in charge, he did a bloody good job.
Antonio Conte [October, November and December 2016]
Yes, that’s right; he has been winning this award for three months. He eventually got the manager of the year for the season too. This Italian talent became the very first manager to win the award on three consecutive occasions owing to six wins out of six in December 2017. Any person who can have his club, the Premier League Champion of Last Season Chelsea, win 6 out of 6 matches deserves this award.
Jürgen Klopp [September 2016]
Jurgen Klopp, in September 2017 masterfully guided Liverpool and got three wins out of just as many matches in September. The team ended up scoring 11 goals in the process. After this, there was no doubt that he wouldn’t win this award.
Mike Phelan [August 2016]
