Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has been named March’s Premier League (PL) Manager of the Month, winning the award for the fourth time this season.
The 41-year-old Spaniard, who came up against Pep Guardiola, Unai Emery and Roberto De Zerbi, came out on top after defeating Everton, Bournemouth, Fulham and Crystal Palace in March.
Arteta apart from going undefeated in March, picked up maximum 12 points on offer from the four matches and his team netted 14 goals across the four games.

That triumph saw him adding one more award to the ones he won in August, November/December and January.
It is now his fourth win from seven nominations this campaign, and it takes his overall tally to six during his time in charge of us – moving him to joint-ninth in the all-time standings.
He is also just one behind Jurgen Klopp’s single-season record of five awards, set during Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning season of 2019/20.
