Premier League August 2026 award nominations and results

Overview

The Premier League has announced the nominees for the August 2026/27 Player of the Month and Manager of the Month awards.

The Player of the Month shortlist includes Riccardo Calafiori, Rayan Cherki, Bruno Fernandes, Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, Mamadou Sangaré, Konstantinos Tzolakis, and Yoane Wissa. Notable mentions include Bruno Fernandes for a hat-trick and goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis for consecutive clean sheets.

For the Manager of the Month award, the nominees are Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), Xabi Alonso (Chelsea), Enzo Maresca (Manchester City), and Sergej Jakirović (Hull City). All four nominees are recognized for securing two victories during the month. Jakirović is noted for leading Hull City to a +3 goal difference, which included a tactical win over Manchester United and a victory against Coventry.

On September 11, Sergej Jakirović was named the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month for August. The 49-year-old Bosnian coach becomes the first manager from Bosnia to receive the award in Premier League history. Jakirović was selected through a combination of fan votes and jury evaluations, beating out Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso, and Enzo Maresca. He is the third manager in Hull City's history to win the award, following a period where the club remained undefeated and did not concede a goal in their first three matches.
