Yakerovych wins August Manager of the Month award in Premier League

Serhiy Yakirovich, the head coach of Hull City, has been awarded the Manager of the Month for August in the Premier League after leading the team to a strong and almost perfect start following their return to the top flight.

Hull City have earned 7 points from their first 3 matches in the Premier League, including two wins in August, maintaining their unbeaten record after starting their campaign with a victory over Manchester United, then defeating Coventry City away from home, before drawing 0-0 with Aston Villa. The team has also kept three consecutive clean sheets, placing them second in the table after the third round.

This eye-catching start comes despite Hull City playing their first season in the Premier League after promotion, as Jakirovic has managed to build an organized and defensively strong team, making Hull one of the standout surprises of the season's kickoff.

The Bosnian coach is credited for his handling of the summer transfer window, which saw 18 new players join the squad before he led the new group to strong results against Premier League clubs.
