Pochettino last month led Spurs to victories over Burnley, Swansea City, Watford, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and North London rivals Arsenal.
Son, who became the first Asian recipient of the award in September, scored five goals during that run, which closed the gap on leaders Chelsea.
"I feel proud because it is a collective reward," Pochettino said after winning the award for the fourth time in his Premier League career.
Second-placed Spurs lost their first game of May at West Ham United last week to slip seven points behind Chelsea with three matches to play.
