Kosta Runjaic Philadelphia Coach Of The Month for May
The Philadelphia Coach Of The Month award for May has been assigned to Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic. The trophy will be presented during the pre-match of Napoli vs Udinese, scheduled for Sunday 24 May 2026 at 6.00 p.m at the “Diego Armando Maradona” stadium in Naples.
The award was assigned by a jury of Directors of sports media who evaluated each coach on the basis of technical and sporting criteria and the quality of play of their teams.
For the final calculation were considered the matchdays from 35 to 36 of Serie A 2025/2026
"Kosta Runjaic has proven himself once again this season to be an excellent manager - said Luigi De Siervo, CEO of Lega Calcio Serie A -. His ability to bring out the best in young talent and build a cohesive squad ties in perfectly with his tactical philosophy, which is characterised by intensity, playing across the width of the pitch, dynamism and constant runs into the box.” In May, with victories against Torino and Cagliari, Runjaic brought his fine work to a successful conclusion, securing, with one matchday remaining, Udinese’s best Serie A finish since the 2012/2013 season".
