"I have heard people call the Manager of the Month award a curse.
It is not.
The month of the award is a blessing, for the manager, his players and their fans.
Afterwards, more often than not, things become whatever is going to pass for ordinary."

"Teams with a winning manager averaged just upwards of two points per game in the month following the win, down from an average 2.4 points per game in the month prior to the accolade, suggesting there is a downward trend, but whether that’s down to circumstantial factors, forces working against them or the mental aftereffects of winning the award, is down to the individual team and/or manager."
