Congratulations to Swansea manager Garry Monk who has picked up the first Premier League Manager of the Month award for the 2014/15 season for picking up three wins from his first three games in August having registered stylish victories over Manchester United, Burnley and West Brom so far.
Monk beat fellow candidates Jose Mourinho, Paul Lambert and Mark Hughes – all of whom have also enjoyed rollicking starts to the campaign.
Here’s the Swans gaffer looking positively overcome with joy on receipt of his award…
With Cesc Fabregas, Nathan Dyer, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Andreas Weimann all in the running, it’s Chelsea’s Diego Costa who has been awarded the Premier League Player of the Month award for August, with the Spanish international scoring four goals in the Blues opening three games…
A big bloody well done to the both of you!
