Italian manager of London's Tottenham Hotspur, Roberto De Zerbi, has received individual recognition for October in the English Premier League. According to the official Premier League website, cited by Sport RBC.UA, the specialist was awarded the Manager of the Month title, beating several prominent colleagues from top clubs in the league. Notably, the award comes at a time when his team had recently started the season with disappointing results and found themselves at the bottom of the league table. ### Recognition Through Combined Voting The award was given to De Zerbi following a combination of votes from fans and league experts. In the race for the prize, the Italian beat Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), Unai Emery (Aston Villa), Xabi Alonso (Chelsea), Marco Rose (Bournemouth), and Fabian Hürzeler (Brighton). For the Spurs manager, this is his first such recognition since 2023, when he worked with Brighton and also received individual awards in the English league. ### Ascent from the Bottom The Londoners began the month at the bottom of the standings, but under De Zerbi's leadership, the team significantly improved its position. In four league matches, Tottenham secured three wins and a draw. Specifically, the Spurs defeated Coventry City (3:1), Chelsea (2:0), and Crystal Palace (2:0), and also shared points with Manchester United (1:1). After ten rounds of the Premier League, the Londoners have gathered 12 points and sit 11th in the league table. ### Mudryk's Injury Limits Attacking Depth Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk, who joined Tottenham in September on loan from Chelsea, cannot yet fully help the team due to an injury. He has played only one match for his new club, coming on as a substitute in the fixture against Nottingham Forest (0:0). The player's absence reduces attacking versatility, making the scoring streak that the Spurs are putting together under De Zerbi all the more notable. ### Player of the Month: Nicolas Jackson Simultaneously with the Tottenham manager, the league recognized the best player of October. It was Aston Villa striker Nicolas Jackson, who scored four goals in four league matches. Thus, the individual monthly awards were distributed among representatives of different clubs, reflecting the high competition in the current Premier League season. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Несмотря на отсутствие Мудрика: наставник "Тоттенхема" получил престижное признание в АПЛ](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/football/popri-vidsutnist-mudrika-nastavnik-tottengema-1794586319.html) - Primary source: De Zerbi's recognition as October manager, opponents list, match results, Mudryk's status, and Jackson's award. ## FAQ ### Who was named Premier League Manager of the Month for October?
