Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been crowned the Barclays Manager of the Month for March, following his team's impressive performances throughout the month. Arteta's side enjoyed an unbeaten run of four games, scoring a total of 14 goals and extending their lead at the top of the Premier League table to eight points above Manchester City.

The Spanish tactician played a crucial role in his team's incredible comeback victory against AFC Bournemouth, bringing on Reiss Nelson to set up the equalizer before scoring the winner himself. It was a display that underlined Arteta's tactical nous and ability to inspire his players to deliver on the big stage.

This marks the fourth time this season that Arteta has received the accolade, putting him just one behind Jurgen Klopp's record of five in a single campaign, set in 2019/20. The award cements Arteta's status as one of the most promising young coaches in the game, and further strengthens his credentials as he seeks to guide Arsenal to domestic and European success.

In a double sweep for Arsenal, Bukayo Saka won the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award for March, underlining the Gunners' dominance during the month. Arteta beat out stiff competition from Roberto De Zerbi, Unai Emery, and Pep Guardiola, with votes from the public combined with those of a panel of experts to determine the winner.

The announcement adds Arteta's name to an illustrious list of Barclays Manager of the Month winners for the 2022/23 season, which includes Erik ten Hag of Manchester United, Eddie Howe of Newcastle, and Arteta himself for the months of November/December and January. With the season reaching its climax, the award is a testament to Arteta's leadership and his ability to inspire his team to achieve their full potential.
