Mourinho Wins La Liga Manager Of The Month After Perfect October
Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has been named La Liga Manager of the Month for October after guiding his side to a 100 per cent winning record in the Spanish top flight.
The Portuguese tactician earned the recognition after leading Los Blancos to victories in all three of their league fixtures during the month, including an impressive 2-1 triumph over arch-rivals Barcelona in El Clásico.
La Liga announced Mourinho's award on its official X account on Monday, describing the Real Madrid boss as the competition's Coach of the Month for October.
Madrid began their winning run with a 1-0 victory over Villarreal before thrashing Sevilla 4-1 and edging Barcelona 2-1 to complete a perfect month.
The El Clásico victory was particularly significant as it marked Madrid's first meeting with Barcelona this season and strengthened their position in the title race.
Despite their impressive October performances, Los Blancos have suffered two defeats this season, losing 1-0 to Real Betis and 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby.
Madrid currently occupy second position in the La Liga standings, three points behind leaders Barcelona.
The award further highlights Mourinho's return to the Santiago Bernabéu, where he is enjoying his second spell after previously managing the Spanish giants between 2010 and 2013.
During his first tenure, the 63-year-old won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.
Mourinho succeeds Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who claimed the September Manager of the Month award after guiding the Catalan side through an impressive run of results.
