Nottingham Forest head coach, Nuno Espirito Santo has been named Barclays Manager of the Month for December 2024, marking an impressive achievement in his coaching career.
Nuno Espirito Santo has earned this award for the second time in three months and the sixth time overall in the Premier League.
Under Nuno’s leadership, Forest has made significant strides, securing second place in the Premier League table for the first time since 1994.
The team’s performance in December was particularly noteworthy, with five wins from six matches and a strong defensive showing that included three consecutive clean sheets to end the month. 
With this recent recognition, Nuno joins an elite group of managers, matching six award wins with notable figures like Sam Allardyce and Sir Bobby Robson. His earlier honors came during his time with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.
Nuno topped a competitive shortlist of coaches that featured Newcastle United’s Eddie Howe, AFC Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, and Liverpool’s Arne Slot. This reflects his impressive performance, as determined by a combination of public votes and a panel of experts.
Looking ahead, it will be exciting to see how high Nuno can elevate Nottingham Forest. The team is currently enjoying the longest active winning streak in the Premier League, having won their last six matches and sitting third in the table, tied on points with Arsenal and just six points behind leaders Liverpool.
A major test awaits as they prepare to face Liverpool at home on Tuesday, January 14, in a crucial top-of-the-table clash. Recall that they secured a victory against Liverpool at Anfield earlier this campaign, making them the only team this season to accomplish this feat in the Premier League.
