This award was announced shortly after Chris Wood was named the best player for October in the Premier League. The double celebration was the first time in the history of Nottingham Forest that they won the player and manager in the same month.
Nuno Espirito Santos won the award after he led Forest to an unbeaten month, having earned seven points from a possible nine. After a 1-1 draw at Chelsea, they won back-to-back matches in the Premier League for the first time since December 2023, beating Crystal Palace and winning away at Leicester City.
