Top 5 managers with the most Premier League Manager of the Month awards:
5. Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool)- 9 times
Jurgen Klopp joined Liverpool from Borussia Dortmund in 2016 when the Merseyside club were struggling and not performing well. Klopp was welcomed by the supporters but not many thought he would go on and transform the team.
The German manager had a slow start to his Liverpool career after not winning anything in the first 2 years. But after a few key signings, Klopp rejuvenated Liverpool and helped the team reach to 2 UEFA Champions League Finals in two consecutive years, winning the 2nd final against Tottenham Hotspur.
Klopp’s team also challenged for the Premier League title with Manchester City in 2018/19 but lost it by 1 point in the end. The following year, Liverpool were ruthless and went on to win the title with 7 games to spare.
Jurgen Klopp is now considered a Liverpool legend and the fans hope he stays at the Merseyside club for a long time to come. The German has won the Premier League Manager of the Month award 9 times but that figure will surely rise to double figures in no time.
4. David Moyes (West Ham United)- 10 times
David Moyes is one of the most respected coaches in English football. He has had a great career in management with numerous teams and has already proven his skill belongs to the best league in the world, that is, the Premier League.
The way the English manager has helped West Ham United in these last 2 years has been nothing short of incredible. The 58 year old has transformed the club completely from relegation battlers to competing for the European spots.
Moyes has brought back belief to West Ham United and it’s fans, just like he did it with Everton for numerous years. He worked with a low budget at the Merseyside club but they were always a tough nut to crack under Moyes. The 58 year old always had Everton fighting for the European spots.
David Moyes has won 10 Premier League Manager of the Month awards but the way West Ham United are playing this season, that number is surely going to rise.

3. Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)- 10 times
Pep Guardiola is considered as one of the most respected managers in the world. When the Spaniard joined Manchester City in 2016 from Bayern Munich, many English fans doubted him and thought that he could not get this Manchester City side to play the “Tiki-Taka” style that Pep was used to at Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona.
However, the Spaniard has changed the dynamic of the Premier League with his ‘possession based’ football. Pep has guided Manchester City to 3 Premier League titles in just 5 seasons and has also helped the club reach their first ever Champions League Final last year.
Pep Guardiola has won 10 Premier League Manager of the Month awards with the latest award being won by him this month itself. The 50 year old also broke the record of winning 4 straight Manager of the Month awards from September 2017-December 2017.
2. Arsene Wenger (Arsenal)- 15 times
When you talk about Arsenal, the first name that pops into your head is of their legendary manager Arsene Wenger. The French manager joined the English club in 1996 and not a lot of fans knew about him.
Wenger helped Arsenal to reach where they are right now in world football. He helped them win numerous titles with his attacking and revolutionary football. Arsenal were truly an unstoppable force in his prime years and most of the teams in Europe were scared to face the English club.
Wenger was the first manager whose team had gone an entire season undefeated to win the Premier League in 2003/04. It is considered as one of the best League campaigns a team has ever had in football. That was also the last time that Arsenal won the Premier League.
The French manager always kept Arsenal in the top 4 during his time at the club. However, his time at Arsenal ended abruptly in 2018 with his own fans turning their backs on him.
Arsene Wenger won the Premier League Manager of the Month award 15 times during his time at Arsenal and he is often considered to be as one of the greatest manager to have managed a team in England.
