Find out who they are below:
Ronald Koeman, Southampton
There were concerns at St Mary’s this summer after five key players and boss Mauricio Pochettino all left, but Koeman has ensured that their impressive form hasn’t dropped and the Saints were the only side with a 100% record in September.
Jose Mourinho, Chelsea
The Blues’ relentless march on the title continued with the draw with Manchester City the only blip so far on what has been a brilliant campaign for Mourinho and his team from West London, with two wins in their other two games last month.
Nigel Pearson, Leicester City
Of the three promoted sides from the Championship the Foxes looked to have the toughest start to the season and yet have defied those doubters with two victories out of three in September including a 5-3 triumph over Manchester United.
Neil Warnock, Crystal Palace
Completing the trio of new faces – along with Koeman and Pearson – Warnock was hastily drafted in at Palace among chaos as Tony Pulis left the club suddenly and first choice replacement Malky Mackay was accused of racism and sexism, but the Yorkshireman has not let it faze him and the Eagles earned seven points last month.
