Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been crowed manager of the month for March after a perfect run of games.

Manchester City deservedly reclaimed their prized EFL Cup crown before the international break as Arsenal collapsed in the final, ending their chances of winning the quadruple. 

However, Arteta overcame Chelsea, Brighton, and Everton in the Premier League as Arsenal were the only team in the division to win all their league games during March. 

This is the first time the Spaniard has won the award since February 2024, and his eighth since becoming our boss in December 2019. 

He is only two away from equalling former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who sits fifth, with 10 awards during his time with The Reds, where he won one league title. 

Only Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola and David Moyes have won it more times than Arteta and Klopp, and the Arsenal boss will be aiming to climb higher in the ranks next season. 

Arsenal can still match City and Manchester United's feat of completing a treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup this season as his side aim to make history with a treble. 

Arteta’s star goalkeeper David Raya is also nominated for the Save of the Month award, an award he also won for his incredible stop against Brighton in December earlier this season.
