José Mourinho Claims First La Liga Monthly Award Since Returning To Real Madrid

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has been named La Liga Manager of the Month for October after guiding the Spanish club to three consecutive victories in the competition. La Liga announced the Portuguese coach as the winner on Monday, November 9, through its official X account.

"Real Madrid's coach is the Coach of the Month for October in #LALIGAEASPORTS," the league body wrote. Mourinho earned the recognition after Real Madrid won all three of their league matches during the month, beating Villarreal 1-0, Sevilla 4-1 and Barcelona 2-1.

The victory over Barcelona in El Clásico was the standout result of the run, giving Madrid an important win against their title rivals. The Portuguese manager also saw off competition from Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone and Real Sociedad boss Pellegrino Matarazzo in the final voting.

The award is Mourinho's first Manager of the Month recognition since returning to the Real Madrid dugout ahead of the 2026-27 season. The 63-year-old previously managed the club between 2010 and 2013, winning the La Liga title, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup during his first spell.

He succeeds Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who received the September award. Mourinho's team have continued their strong run beyond October, recording an eighth consecutive victory in all competitions with a 3-0 win over Valencia on Saturday.

Real Madrid are level on 30 points with Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table, although the Catalan side remain first on goal difference and have a game in hand. Send Us A Press Statement Advertise With Us Contact Us And For More Nigerian News Visit GWG.
