Portuguese football manager José Mourinho has officially been named the La Liga Manager of the Month for October 2026, following an impressive run of victories with Real Madrid.

The prestigious recognition comes after Mourinho guided the Spanish giants through a flawless October campaign, winning all three of their league matches and demonstrating his tactical quality and leadership.

Real Madrid recorded a 1-0 victory over Villarreal before delivering a convincing 4-1 win against Sevilla. However, the biggest highlight of the month was their crucial 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Barcelona in El Clásico.

The victory against Barcelona provided a fitting conclusion to an outstanding month for Mourinho and his players, further strengthening his reputation as one of football's most accomplished managers.

According to La Liga, Mourinho emerged ahead of fellow nominees Diego Simeone of Atlético Madrid and Pellegrino Matarazzo of Real Sociedad in the final voting.

The award is Mourinho's first Manager of the Month honour this season and marks another significant achievement following his return to the Real Madrid dugout.

He succeeds Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, who claimed the September award.

Mourinho, widely known as The Special One, previously managed Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013, winning the La Liga title, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup.

His latest achievement signals an encouraging start to his second spell at the Santiago Bernabéu, with supporters hoping his experience and winning mentality will help restore the club's dominance in Spanish and European football.

For Mourinho, the October award is another reminder that his competitive hunger and ambition remain firmly intact.

The Special One is making headlines again in Spain.
