rewarded for his team's excellent run in the last
month after he was given the EPL Manager of
the month award for December. With this
award, Conte is officially the first manager to
win the ward three months in a row, following
his award wins in October, November and
December.
The Italian, beat off competition from
Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino and
Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp, to pick up the award.
After receiving the award, Conte said:
"I’m very proud," he tells Chelsea's
official website.
"It’s a great honour for me but I want to
say thanks to all of my players, my staff
and the club because we won the award
together. Now it’s important to continue
to work very well together. "I enjoyed my
first Christmas period a lot. This type of
atmosphere only happens in England and
it was fantastic. I hope to experience it
again many times in the future.
"When you win you usually see a lot of
positive things and every game was
different. We won six matches and to do
that, especially in December, is very
difficult. "If I had to pick out one game I
would choose West Brom, because it
was very tough and we scored with 15
minutes remaining. My players showed
me great character and a strong will to
win right until the end that day, which I
always like to see."
