La Liga Manager of the Month

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernesto Valverde won the Manager of the Month award a record eight times.

The La Liga Manager of the Month is an association football award that recognises the best adjudged La Liga manager each month of the season. Established in 2013, the award was abandoned after the conclusion of the 2016–17 La Liga season, but was later reinstated after six years following the rebranding of the league ahead of the 2023–24 season.[1]
