José Mourinho has been named LaLiga EA SPORTS Manager of the Month for October, with the Real Madrid head coach recognised for steering his side through a perfect month in the Spanish top flight.

LaLiga confirmed the award on their official website on Monday, citing Real Madrid's flawless October record — which included victories over Villarreal CF, Sevilla FC, and FC Barcelona.

A perfect month capped by El Clásico glory

Real Madrid opened October with a 1-0 win over Villarreal CF, before dismantling Sevilla FC 4-1. The month's defining moment, however, arrived with a 2-1 victory over FC Barcelona in El Clásico — a result the league body described as one of the standout moments of the season so far.

"The Madrid side won every single match in October, a month in which El Clásico took centre stage," LaLiga noted in their announcement. "The 1-2 victory over FC Barcelona capped off a flawless month for Los Blancos."

Mourinho edges out fellow top-flight rivals

This is Mourinho's first Manager of the Month award in the current 2026/27 campaign. The Portuguese tactician beat Pellegrino Matarazzo of Real Sociedad and Diego Pablo Simeone of Atlético de Madrid in the final vote to claim the honour.

Mourinho succeeds FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who had taken the September award, as LaLiga's recognised coach of the moment.
