Mikel Arteta has been named the Premier League Manager of the Month for March 2026, capping off a flawless run that underlined Arsenal’s title charge.
The Spaniard guided Arsenal to a perfect record during the month, winning all three of their league matches against Chelsea, Brighton, and Everton, making them the only team with a 100% record in March.
Mikel beats Eddie Howe (Newcastle United), Fabian Hürzeler (Brighton & Hove Albion), Régis Le Bris (Sunderland), and David Moyes (Everton) to claim the award.
Arteta’s tactical sharpness and bold in-game decisions proved decisive, notably in the victory over Everton where a late substitution changed the game and secured all three points.
The award marks the eighth time Arteta has claimed the monthly honour, placing him among the Premier League’s most decorated managers and highlighting his continued evolution since taking charge at the Emirates.
More importantly, his leadership helped Arsenal open up a significant gap at the top of the table, strengthening their push for a first league title in over two decades.
After months of consistency, near-misses, and growing pressure, Arteta’s March recognition is not just about results, it is a statement of Arsenal’s intent and their manager’s growing stature among the elite.
