José Mourinho has won La Liga's Manager of the Month award for October after Real Madrid went through the month unbeaten in all three league games.

La Liga announced the award on its official account on Monday.

Madrid beat Villarreal 1-0, Sevilla 4-1 and Barcelona 2-1 in El Clásico, their first meeting of the season.

They have lost only twice this season, 1-0 at Real Betis and 2 1 to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby.

They are now second in the table, three points behind Barcelona.

Mourinho, 63, is back at Madrid for a second spell after coaching the club from 2010 to 2013.

During that time he won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.

He takes over the award from Barcelona's Hansi Flick, who won it for September.
