The Premier League has revealed the Barclays Manager of the Month nominees for October 2025, honoring four coaches for their unbeaten runs. The contenders are Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), Ruben Amorim (Manchester United), Unai Emery (Aston Villa), and Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth). Fans can vote on the Premier League’s website until midday GMT on November 3, with the winner to be announced next week.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal recorded three straight clean-sheet wins—2-0 over West Ham, 1-0 at Fulham, and 1-0 against Crystal Palace—keeping them top of the league. Arsenal have conceded just eight goals in ten matches, showing Arteta’s focus on tight defense and sharp finishing from Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka.
Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United continued their revival, beating Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton. His bold 3-4-3 system has revitalized Bruno Fernandes and Leny Yoro, pushing United toward the top six and silencing early-season critics.
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa claimed nine points from matches against Burnley, Tottenham, and Manchester City. His compact tactics and quick counters have sparked form for Ollie Watkins and Youri Tielemans, fueling Villa’s Champions League push.
Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth stayed unbeaten, earning seven points from wins over Fulham and Forest plus a 3-3 draw at Palace. Led by Antoine Semenyo and Lewis Cook, the Cherries have climbed clear of the relegation zone with stylish, attacking football.
These four coaches highlight different paths to success—defensive stability, tactical innovation, and fearless attacking play. Fans and experts, including Jamie Carragher and Alan Shearer, will decide who claims October’s crown.
