Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic wins Premier League Manager of the Month

[p]The Tigers have been the biggest shock of the Premier League season and are remarkably the only team across the top-four tiers of English football that are yet to concede a single league goal. [/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/hull-city/S66R0t75/"]Hull[/a] have picked up seven points from their opening three games following last weekend’s goalless draw with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/aston-villa/W00wmLO0/"]Aston Villa[/a] and are sat 3rd in the table heading into the weekend fixtures. [/p][p]Despite being tipped for relegation and many pundits putting the side dead bottom of the table at the start of the season, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jakirovic-sergej/UVrk8S2I/"]Jakirovic[/a] has proven everyone wrong and this week has been handed the Premier League Manager of the Month award. [/p][embed guid="03066a94-f31a-45ff-a96f-ff0bcc21b373" url="https://x.com/HullCity/status/2098365941168095535?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]Jakirovic beat out the likes of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/arteta-mikel/lAbHYaQM/"]Mikel Arteta[/a] ([a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/arsenal/hA1Zm19f/"]Arsenal[/a]), [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/alonso-xabi/hAcTWKKN/"]Xabi Alonso[/a] ([a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/chelsea/4fGZN2oK/"]Chelsea[/a]) and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/maresca-enzo/nJsvYDRG/"]Enzo Maresca[/a] ([a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-city/Wtn9Stg0/"]Manchester City[/a]), who also guided their teams to maximum points in August in what is an incredible achievement. [/p][p]Hull next face Chelsea on Saturday afternoon as they aim to claim their first-ever league victory away against Chelsea, having never won in 18 visits to the blue side of West London (D3 L15). [/p][p]The club’s unbeaten start looks set to come under serious threat [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/chelsea-4fGZN2oK/hull-S66R0t75/?mid=G8yViRgc"]at Stamford Bridge[/a], but with Jakirovic, the club could make history. [/p]
