David Wagner, has been named the Premier League Manager of the Month for August after Huddersfield Town’s surprising start to their top flight campaign.
The Newcomers are yet to concede a goal this term, having come up from the Championship to stun all of their PL competitors so far.
They kicked things off with a breathtaking 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on opening day and followed that up with a 1-0 win against Newcastle. A 0-0 draw against Southampton came next, leaving the Terriers in third place on the league table heading into the international break.
“I am happy; it’s an honour for me to receive this award but I would like to take it for the whole club,” Wagner said following the presentation of said award.
“My players earned the results on the pitch and got a lot of details right.
“I always hoped we would start well but I didn’t expect it; we are happy so far but like I said it’s only a start and we have to stay focused throughout the season.
Wagner will oversee a Monday night match against West Ham, and should fancy his team’s chances as Slaven Bilic’s side have failed to record a single win so far this season and are rooted to the bottom of the table.
