Arteta beats Guardiola, Conte, others to PL Manager of the month

Mikel Arteta, the coach of Arsenal Football Club, has been named the Premier League’s Manager of the Month for August.

Arteta beat Antonio Conte, Pep Guardiola, Graham Potter, and Marco Silva to the award.

Arsenal won all five of their August fixtures, scoring 13 goals and conceding only four in the process.

Arteta led the team to victory against Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Bournemouth, Fulham, and Aston Villa, finishing the month top of the table.

However, this is the third Manager of the Month award for Arteta, who won it two times last season in September and March.

Mikel is also Arsenal’s second manager to win his opening five games of a Premier League season. Arsene Wenger achieved this record in two successive seasons during Arsenal’s Invincibles era of 2003/04.
