Nottingham, UK – Nuno Espirito Santos has been crowned Premier League Manager of the Month for December 2024 after orchestrating a remarkable run of form that propelled Nottingham Forest to second in the league table. The Portuguese manager guided his team through a challenging festive period with near-flawless precision, securing five wins from six matches.
This latest accolade marks Nuno’s sixth Manager of the Month award, adding to his previous successes during his time at Tottenham Hotspur. However, this achievement carries extra significance as it coincides with Forest’s highest league position since 1994.
Nuno’s tactical acumen was evident throughout December, culminating in three consecutive clean sheets to close out the month. This defensive solidity, coupled with clinical attacking displays, saw Forest defy expectations and establish themselves as genuine contenders.
The impressive run included a surge to second in the Premier League table, trailing only leaders Liverpool. This unexpected rise has ignited excitement amongst Forest fans, who are now daring to dream of a return to the glory days.
Nuno topped a strong four-man shortlist that also featured Newcastle United’s Eddie Howe, AFC Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, and Liverpool’s Arne Slot. The final decision was determined by a combination of public votes and the votes of a panel of football experts.
Forest’s impressive form extends beyond December, as they currently boast the Premier League’s longest active winning streak, having triumphed in their last six matches. They currently sit third in the table, level on points with Arsenal and just six points adrift of league leaders Liverpool. Nuno’s impact on the club has been transformative, and this Manager of the Month award is a testament to his exceptional leadership.
