Serie A Coach of the Month
The Serie A Coach of the Month, officially known as the Philadelphia Coach of the Month for sponsorship reasons,[1] is an association football award that recognises the best Serie A head coach each month of the season. The award was introduced for the 2021–22 season.
The first award was assigned to then Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti, who in total has won the award four times.[2] Simone Inzaghi won the award a record five times.[3][4] Thiago Motta, Vincenzo Italiano, Massimiliano Allegri, and Gian Piero Gasperini are the only managers to have won the award with different clubs. Motta and Cesc Fàbregas are the only managers to have won the award for two consecutive months.[3][5] The award has been given to twenty different coaches, of which seventeen have been Italian, with the only foreign managers awarded being Siniša Mihajlović (Serbia), José Mourinho (Portugal), and Cesc Fàbregas (Spain).[3]
