Premier League Manager of the Month Award Matches 14-Year Record

Liverpool began their title defense with a strong performance, earning nine points from their first three matches. This success led to Reds manager Arne Slot being awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month, marking a significant achievement.

Details: As noted by Opta, Slot is the first manager in 14 years to receive the Premier League Manager of the Month honor in the opening month of the season right after winning the title. The last manager to do so was Sir Alex Ferguson, who was named August manager in the 2011-12 season after winning the 2010-11 title.

Reminder: Additionally, the award for the best goal in August went to Liverpool, thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal against Arsenal. In their opening matches, Liverpool also triumphed over Newcastle and Bournemouth, scoring eight goals in total.
