Luciano Spalletti won the award four times and was the inaugural recipient.

The Serie A Coach of the Month, officially known as the Philadelphia Coach of the Month for sponsorship reasons,[1] is an association football award that recognises the best Serie A head coach each month of the season. The award was introduced for the 2021–22 season.

The first award was assigned to then Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti, who also won the award a record four times.[2] Thiago Motta is the only manager to have won the award with two different clubs: Spezia and Bologna.[3] Bologna is the only club that had two different managers win the award during their stay: Siniša Mihajlović and Thiago Motta.[3] The award was given to 14 different coaches of which 12 were Italian, with the only foreign managers awarded being Siniša Mihajlović (Serbia) and José Mourinho (Portugal).[3]

As of December 2023, the most recent recipient of the award is Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano.[4]
