Antonio conte has become the first manager to win the prize three times in succession
The Italian, who beat off competition from Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino and Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp, has been rewarded for the team’s fine form throughout the month, when we took maximum points from our six matches.
Just like in October and November, when Conte also won the award, the Blues were able to produce exciting attacking football while also remaining solid from a defensive perspective.
We conceded just three goals in December, with two of those coming in our final game of the month, the 4-2 win against Stoke City. We scored 13, including three away at Manchester City.
Conte was delighted to take the prize once again, particularly given the number of fixtures over the course of what is always a busy month.
‘I’m very proud,’ he tells the official Chelsea website. ‘It’s a great honour for me but I want to say thanks to all of my players, my staff (pictured below) 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.
