Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola has been named the Premier League Manager of the Month for April.
The Catalan coach topped a seven-man shortlist also featuring Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Brighton & Hove Albion's Fabian Hurzeler, Liverpool's Arne Slot, Leeds United's Daniel Farke, Nottingham Forest's Vitor Pereira and West Ham United's Nuno Espirito Santo.
Guardiola oversaw a perfect month in April, with his Man City side winning three games out of three to remain in contention with leaders Arsenal for the Premier League title.
The Citizens claimed a important 2-1 home victory over the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium before easing to a 3-0 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and they ended April with a slender 1-0 success over Burnley at Turf Moor.
Guardiola remarkable ended a 49-month Manager of the Month drought when he claimed the Premier League prize in February, and he has now won the award for the second time this season thanks to his team's impressive form in April.
This is the first time in a year that a Premier League manager has won the award on multiple occasions in a single season since Nuno during his time in charge of Nottingham Forest (October 2024, December 2024 and March 2025).
