Jose Mourinho has been awarded the prize of the Premier League manager of the month for November after leading Tottenham to top spot in the Premier League.
Spurs climbed to the top of the table on Matchday 9 and have managed to stay put thanks to two triumphs, first a 2-0 victory against Manchester City and then a 2-0 win in the derby with Arsenal.
In the other two games they played in November, Tottenham dropped just two points, drawing 0-0 with Chelsea and beating Brighton 2-1.
“It says manager of the month, but for me it is team of the month or staff of the month because it is about the players and all these guys that are here with me: the coaches, the assistants, the sports science guys, the analysts and others that are not here but work so hard,” said Mourinho.
“Thank you for this, but it is not manager of the month. It is team of the month and staff of the month.”
Premier League player of the month
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes was named Premier League player of the month, after scoring four goals and assisting another one in November.
The Portuguese midfielder helped Manchester United to three victories in four games, with their only defeat being at the hands of Arsenal.
Fernandes has won this award three times since moving to Manchester United from Sporting CP in January 2020.
