Hull City's caretaker manager Mike Phelan, Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Antonio
Conte and have all been nominated for the first of this
season’s Manager of the Month award.
The Tigers had the honour of kicking
off the new season as they beat reigning champions Leicester City on the
opening day then followed that up a week later with a 2-0 win over
Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
However, their winning run came to an end in heartbreaking fashion
just before international break against United as Marcus Rashford netted
the winner in injury time.
That result means the Red Devils
maintained their perfect start to life under new manager Mourinho, who
has also overseen comfortable victories over Bournemouth and
Southampton.
Another new arrival to English football
is former Juventus and Italy national team manager Antonio Conte. He
has made an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge with his side securing
hard-fought wins over the Hammers and Watford, before recording an easy
3-0 win over newcomers Burnley last weekend.
Two of the nominees go head-to-head in eight days time as Old
Trafford host the first Manchester derby of the season, but will it be
Mourinho or Guardiola that wins this award?
