The Australian etched his name in Premier League history by becoming the first ever head coach to claim the Manager of the Month award in his first three months in charge of a team in the league and the first one to claim the first three awards from the start of any Premier League season.
Postecoglou, who also won the award in August and September, joins an elite club of managers in Premier League history to have won the monthly award three times, as he joins Antonio Conte, Pep Guardiola, and Jurgen Klopp to achieve the feat.

Tottenham ended October at the top of the Premier League standings and were the only side to finish the month with a 100 percent record after defeating Luton Town 1-0 away, Fulham 2-0 at home, and sealing a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Postecoglou topped three other managers, including Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp, and Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, and has the chance to tie Guardiola’s record of four successive awards, which the Manchester City boss accomplished in 2017/18.
