London [UK], February 4 (ANI): Bruno Lage has been named the Premier League's Manager of the Month for January 2022.
The Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach is having an impressive debut season in the Premier League and led his side to victory in all three of their January matches, earning Lage the accolade for the first time.
"I'm very proud because it was a good month for us," Lage said. "The performance of the team was very good and we achieved three wins."
One of Wolves' three January victories was a first in the Premier League at Old Trafford, and Lage picked the 1-0 win at Manchester United as the standout result last month.

"It was an amazing performance because we had that personality not to be afraid of anything, to play our game, and we played very well," he said.
Wolves followed that up by beating Southampton 3-1 and claiming a 2-1 victory at Brentford. It leaves the West Midlands club just four points outside the top four, but Lage is more focused on their own performances than a push for European football.
Lage is the first Wolves head coach to claim the award since his countryman Nuno Espirito Santo did so in October 2020.
