Guardiola loses another Premier League award this season

The Premier League Manager of the Month award continues to elude Pep Guardiola this season, and despite a perfect month, he lost out to Unai Emery. 

The Aston Villa manager pipped Guardiola to the award, rewarded for the resurgence of Aston Villa. This means his compatriot continues to wait for a first Manager of the Month award this season.

Emery wins MOTM

The Premier League announced this morning that former Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery has been voted manager of the month of April.

The Birmingham club played seven games in the month in review, winning five, drawing one, and losing one. This included a run of four straight wins and six games unbeaten. 

The honour eluded Emery during his spell at Arsenal, making this his first Premier League Manager of the Month award.  

Pep's drought continues 

Despite the fact that his team currently leads the Premier League in points and goals scored, the former Barcelona coach has yet to win a Manager of the Month award this season. 

This April, Manchester City played four times, winning all four games, including a crucial top-of-the-table tie against Arsenal which they breezed past to claim the top spot. 

With the Premier League set to wrap up this month, there is a possibility the ex-Bayern man will go the entirety of the season without the award.
