The Premier League have released a shortlist of the best manager for the February 2026 after they led their team to an impressive run with the month in review.
Who are the nominees for Premier League manager of the month?
(1) Keith Andrews (Brentford)
Brentford boosted their European qualification prospects by taking 10 points from a possible 15 in February. The Bees began the month with back-to-back away victories against Aston Villa and Newcastle United, before coming from behind to earn a point against league leaders Arsenal at the Gtech Community Stadium.
(2) Michael Carrick (Man Utd)
The Manchester United manager has been nominated for the second successive month, the reigning Manager of the Month continues to lead Man Utd’s resurgence. Carrick carried on where he left off in January by beginning February with successive home wins over Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur. Man Utd’s unbeaten run was extended further with a 1-1 draw at West Ham United before they returned to winning ways against Everton.
(3) Pep Guardiola (Man City)
Man City enjoyed an unbeaten February, winning four and drawing one of their five league games. City’s month began with disappointment as they ceded a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Spurs. However, they recovered impressively to win four games on the spin, triumphing against Liverpool at Anfield before winning successive home games against Fulham and Newcastle and seeing the month out with another three points at Leeds United.
(4)Arne Slot (Liverpool)
Liverpool were beaten in agonising fashion in their first game of the month, conceding two late goals in a 2-1 defeat to Man City. However, they followed that with three successive victories, beating both Sunderland and Nottingham Forest on the road by a 1-0 scoreline before winning 5-2 against West Ham at Anfield.
The winner of the award will be announced on Friday, March 13, 2026.
