Quique Sánchez Flores, LALIGA EA SPORTS Coach of the Month for August

Quique Sánchez Flores has been named LALIGA EA SPORTS Coach of the Month for August. Deportivo Alavés has had a stellar start to the season: 3 wins and 1 draw currently have them in second place in the standings, trailing only FC Barcelona.

The Babazorro squad began the season with a 3-0 win over Getafe at Mendizorrotza, drew 1-1 on the road against Rayo Vallecano, and closed out August with a 1-0 home victory over Villarreal. Additionally, last matchday—with September already underway—they routed Osasuna in a game that ended 5-2. In total: out of the 12 points up for grabs, the blue-and-white team has already earned 10 in the standings and sits in second place in La Liga, just two points behind the undefeated leader: FC Barcelona.

Sánchez Flores claimed the award after beating out Hansi Flick (FC Barcelona) and José Mourinho (Real Madrid) in the final vote.
