Jose Mourinho wins La Liga Manager of the month

José Mourinho has been named Manager of the Month for October 2026, earning recognition for his performances during the month.

The Portuguese tactician continues to attract attention with his work on the touchline, adding another individual accolade to his managerial career. The award follows a remarkable run of results by Real Madrid, who recorded three victories from three La Liga matches during October.

Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 1-0 before securing an impressive 4-1 victory over Sevilla. However, the biggest highlight of the month was Real Madrid's 2-1 El Clásico victory over Barcelona, a result that further strengthened their position in the title race.

Mourinho emerged ahead of Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone and Real Sociedad boss Pellegrino Matarazzo, who were also shortlisted for the award. This is Mourinho's first La Liga Manager of the Month award of the 2026/27 season, recognising his impressive start to life back at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The latest recognition further highlights Mourinho's continued influence in European football, with the experienced manager once again demonstrating his ability to deliver results at the highest level.

His tactical approach, emphasis on defensive organisation and ability to get the best out of his players have been central to Real Madrid's strong performances. Winning the October award also provides a boost to the Portuguese coach as he looks to maintain the club's momentum and guide them towards more silverware this season
