July's Barclays Manager shortlist

Pep Guardiola (MCI)

The Manchester City manager is looking to claim a first Barclays award of 2019/20, with the 4-0 win against Liverpool the highlight as his side claimed six victories and averaged 3.6 goals per match over the month.

Ralph Hasenhuttl (SOU)
P6 W3 D3 L0 GF10 GA5 GD+5

Hasenhuttl is aiming for his first such award after Saints stayed unbeaten in July, beginning the month with a superb 1-0 triumph at home to Man City before ending their campaign by defeating Sheffield United 3-1 at St Mary's Stadium to finish 11th.

Jose Mourinho (TOT)
P7 W4 D2 L1 GF11 GA6 GD+5

A six-match unbeaten run following the 3-1 defeat at Sheff Utd, including a 2-1 win against north London rivals Arsenal, helped Tottenham Hotspur secure a sixth-place finish.

David Moyes (WHU)
P7 W3 D3 L1 GF14 GA8 GD+6

The Scot guided West Ham United to a 3-2 comeback victory over Chelsea and further wins against Norwich City and Watford, along with a 1-1 draw at Manchester United, which meant the Hammers were safe before the final day.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (MUN)
P6 W4 D2 L0 GF15 GA5 GD+10

The Norwegian is seeking to win the award for only a second time after remaining unbeaten in July. His side won all three of their away matches without conceding a goal, including the crucial 2-0 victory at Leicester City on the final day that earned a third-placed finish and UEFA Champions League qualification.
