Ange Postecoglou makes history as Tottenham sweep September awards.
Ange Postecoglou, manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has been selected as Premier League Manager of the Month for September 2023. This accolade followed his August triumph, making him the first Premier League manager to win Manager of the Month in their first two months on the job.
He becomes the first manager to win the first two Manager of the Month honors in a season since Jurgen Klopp in 2019. Notably, Liverpool won the Premier League title that year.
This honor comes as Tottenham Hotspur remains atop the Premier League standings after eight games, with 20 points from a potential 24.
Their good start to the season has been bolstered by Son Heung-min’s exceptional efforts, which earned him the Player of the Month title for September.
While Postecoglou has been cautious about speculation about winning the Premier League title, he appreciates fan excitement and does not discourage it. Spurs’ good success under his guidance has made them a Premier League club to watch this season.

“Let them enjoy it,” he said. “I’ve said this before, my role is not to burst peoples’ bubbles. Let them get excited and ahead of themselves, that’s the beauty of being a supporter.
“They go through enough pain, let them enjoy and if they think we’re going to be world-beaters great, it’s then up to us to match those expectations. Our supporters deserve to have some happiness and they can enjoy it anyway they want to.”
Spurs return to play against Fulham following the international break, with games against Crystal Palace and Chelsea still on the schedule.
