Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola has been named the Premier League Manager of the Month for February.
The Catalan coach topped a four-man shortlist also featuring Brentford’s Keith Andrews, Liverpool’s Arne Slot and Manchester United’s Michael Carrick.
Across five games in February, title-chasing Man City accumulated 13 points - more than any other team in the division - courtesy of four wins and one draw.
A 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur was followed by four successive victories, including a important 2-1 comeback triumph for the Citizens over reigning champions Liverpool at Anfield.
Man City then secured back-to-back home wins over Fulham (3-0) and Newcastle United (2-1) before concluding February with a slender 1-0 success at Leeds United.
Guardiola’s Manager of the Month prize is remarkably the first he has received since December 2021, ending a 49-month drought.
