Manager Vitor Matos has been recognized for his contributions to Swansea City after being named Championship manager of the month for August. The Portuguese coach led his team to seven points from three league games in August, achieving two consecutive away wins against Stoke City and Derby County, with a goalless draw at home to Sheffield United.
