Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has been named the La Liga Manager of the Month for October 2026 following his team’s impressive run of victories.

The Portuguese tactician received the award after guiding Real Madrid to victories in all their matches during the month.

According to La Liga, Mourinho’s side recorded a 100 per cent winning record in October, with their 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Barcelona in El Clasico serving as the highlight.

Real Madrid had earlier defeated Villarreal 1-0 before recording a convincing 4-1 win over Sevilla.

The league body announced Mourinho as the winner on Monday, November 9, describing October as an outstanding month for the Spanish giants.

In a statement, La Liga said: “José Mourinho has been named LALIGA EA SPORTS Manager of the Month for October 2026/27.”

Mourinho beat competition from Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone and Real Sociedad coach Pellegrino Matarazzo to claim the monthly award.

The recognition is Mourinho’s first Manager of the Month award this season since returning to the Real Madrid dugout.

He succeeds Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who won the September edition of the award.
