Paragraph 1: James Maddison, the talented midfielder who joined Tottenham from Leicester City in the summer, has had an incredible start to his time at the North London club. He scored two goals and provided two assists, showcasing his skills and impact on the pitch.
Paragraph 2: Tottenham's manager, Pototscokglu, also received recognition as he was awarded the Best Coach of the Month for August. The team has remained unbeaten in the league this season, currently sitting in second place, just behind defending champions Manchester City.
Paragraph 3: In an interview with the Premier League officials, Maddison expressed his excitement about winning the award and mentioned that he had been nominated a few times before. He vowed to give his all if given the opportunity at the start of the season to play for a different club in the Premier League.
Paragraph 4: Reflecting on the significance of the award, Maddison acknowledged the other well-known and top players who have won it in the past and stated his pride in being part of that group. He humorously mentioned that the award would look great on his fireplace mantel.
Paragraph 5: However, how are the monthly awards in the Premier League decided and who is responsible for choosing the winners?
Paragraph 6: The Premier League and their sponsors, EA Sports, encourage fan participation in the voting process. However, awards solely based on fan votes have inherent biases and can be influenced by the size of each player's fanbase. Therefore, although fan opinions are considered, they account for only 10% of the final decision.
Paragraph 7: The remaining 90% is determined by an expert panel, consisting of journalists, former referees, and legendary Premier League players, along with the captains of each top-tier club.
Paragraph 8: Not surprisingly, several players have won the award multiple times. Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane hold the record for the most wins with seven each. They are followed by six-time Ballon d'Or winner Steven Gerrard and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have both won it five times. Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, former Manchester United players, have also won the award five times.
Paragraph 9: Salah is the only player to achieve three consecutive Player of the Month awards, and Bruno Fernandes became the first player to win the award four times in a calendar year in 2020. In terms of clubs, Manchester United has won the most Player of the Month awards, with 45 in total. However, after Bukayo Saka was awarded the accolade in March, Arsenal became the team with the most winners with 22.
Paragraph 10: Regarding the Best Coach of the Month award, a similar process is followed. Fan votes account for 10% of the decision, but the captains of each club do not have a vote. This means that the remaining 90% is determined by the expert panel, which also participates in the selection for the Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards.
Paragraph 11: Sir Alex Ferguson leads the record for the most Best Coach of the Month awards with 27, followed by Arsene Wenger with 15. Pep Guardiola has won it 11 times, while David Moyes and Jurgen Klopp have won it 10 and 9 times, respectively. Harry Redknapp is the only coach to win the award at five different clubs, achieving three wins each at Portsmouth and Tottenham, and one win each at West Ham United and Southampton.
Paragraph 12: Guardiola is the only coach to have won the award for four consecutive months in 2017, while Klopp is the only coach to win it five times in a single season (2019-20).
Paragraph 13: In summary, James Maddison's award as the Premier League Player of the Month for August is a well-deserved recognition of his exceptional performances. The process for selecting the winners involves a combination of fan votes and expert panel decisions, ensuring a fair and comprehensive evaluation.
