The Portuguese has continued to mastermind Forest's push for a UEFA Champions League place, with his team winning both of their matches in March. He oversaw a 1-0 win over defending champions Manchester City before a 4-2 success at Ipswich Town.

Only seven managers have won the award more times than Nuno, who joins Mikel Arteta and Rafa Benitez in the all-time rankings.

Nuno has the chance to become only the fourth manager to win at least four Manager of the Month awards in a single campaign, after Pep Guardiola in 2017/18, Arteta in 2022/23 and Jurgen Klopp in 2019/20, the latter of whom won five.

Nuno has won the award with Wolverhampton Wanderers in September 2018, June 2020 and October 2020, with Tottenham Hotspur in August 2021, and now three times with Forest.
