Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca wins award for second time after masterminding an unbeaten month in November.

Enzo Maresca has been named the Barclays Manager of the Month for November, winning the award for the second time.

The Italian guided Chelsea through an outstanding month in which they picked up three wins and a hard-fought draw, earning 10 points, the joint-highest total of any Premier League team in November.

Chelsea started November by beating Spurs 1-0, followed by a convincing 3-0 triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers and a 2-0 success at Burnley.

Their winning run concluded with perhaps their most impressive showing of the month, a 1–1 draw against league leaders Arsenal.

Despite playing with 10 men for more than half of the match, Chelsea not only limited the Gunners’ chances but also took the lead.

Maresca's second Barclays Manager of the Month success sees him become just the sixth Blues manager to win the award on multiple occasions, after Carlo Ancelotti, Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte, Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte.

In total, nine Chelsea managers have won the prize.

Maresca topped a six-man shortlist also featuring Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), Unai Emery (Aston Villa), Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton & Hove Albion) and Marco Silva (Fulham) after votes from fans were combined with those of a panel of experts.
