Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has been named La Liga Manager of the Month for October.
The Portuguese manager earned the award after Madrid put together a perfect month with a 100 per cent win record, including their 2-1 victory over FC Barcelona in El Clásico.
La Liga made the announcement on its X account on Monday.
“Real Madrid’s coach is the Coach of the Month for October in #LALIGAEASPORTS,” the post read.
The Portuguese received the recognition after leading Madrid through a flawless month in the Spanish top flight, winning all three of their league fixtures.
Madrid beat Villarreal 1-0, Sevilla 4-1, and Barcelona 2-1, coming out on top against their arch-rivals in their first meeting this season.
Los Blancos have lost only twice so far this season, falling 1-0 at Real Betis and 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby.
Madrid is currently second in the table, three points behind the leaders, Barcelona.
Mourinho has made an impressive return to Madrid this season, with his side finding strong form in recent weeks and claiming the award after coming back to the Bernabeu for a second stint in his illustrious managerial career.
The 63-year-old charismatic and outspoken manager previously coached Madrid from 2010 to 2013, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.
Mourinho takes over from Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who won the September award after guiding the Catalan side through an impressive run of results.
