Plymouth Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley is in the running for the League One Manager of the Month award for September, marking a significant achievement for the relatively new boss. Cleverley, who took the reins at Home Park earlier this year, has quickly impressed, guiding the Pilgrims to a stellar run of form throughout the month.

The former Manchester United midfielder faces stiff competition for the prestigious accolade, but his nomination is a testament to the positive impact he’s had on the Argyle squad. Under his leadership, Plymouth secured an impressive nine points from a possible twelve in September. This winning streak has propelled the team up the League One table and instilled a renewed sense of optimism amongst the Green Army.

Cleverley’s tactical nous and man-management skills have been particularly praised. He has managed to create a cohesive and motivated unit, with players responding positively to his clear instructions and encouraging style. The team's performances have been characterized by both defensive solidity and attacking flair, a testament to Cleverley's balanced approach.

The other managers nominated for the award also enjoyed successful Septembers, making the competition fierce. However, Cleverley's ability to galvanize his team and deliver consistent results in a demanding league has undoubtedly caught the eye of the judging panel.

While individual accolades are always welcome, Cleverley has consistently emphasized the importance of teamwork and collective effort. He has credited the players, coaching staff, and the Argyle supporters for their contributions to the team's success. Regardless of whether he wins the award, Cleverley’s nomination serves as recognition of the progress Plymouth Argyle has made under his guidance and the bright future that lies ahead for the club. The winner will be announced later this week, and Argyle fans will be eagerly awaiting the outcome.
