Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has been named the Barclays Manager of the Month for August after guiding the defending champions to a flawless start to the 2025/26 Premier League season.
The Dutchman oversaw three victories from three matches, leaving Liverpool as the only team with a perfect record in the opening month. Slot’s side also scored more goals than any other team in the league, finding the net eight times while navigating a challenging set of fixtures.
The campaign began with a thrilling 4-2 win over AFC Bournemouth at Anfield, followed by a dramatic 3-2 victory away at Newcastle United. The month concluded with a narrow 1-0 triumph against last season’s runners-up Arsenal at home, further establishing Liverpool as early title contenders.
This is Slot’s second Manager of the Month award, having first won it in November 2024 during his debut season in English football. He topped a four-man shortlist after votes from fans were combined with those of a panel of football experts.
