While reacting to the news, Mourinho praised his players for their victory over Manchester City and the way they achieved the result in the game. He told the Premier League website:
"That win against Manchester City and the way we did it, with a performance that we as a staff consider a very complete one. We were very good in every moment of the game.
"It was the first of three consecutive matches - Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal - where from a mental point, if you do not get victory in the first one it is probably going to affect your self-esteem and confidence for the next one.
"November as a month highlights the momentum, what we are and the reason why we are doing so well."
This is the fourth time the Portugal-born tactician will be winning the award in his reign in the Premier League. He has also won three manager of the season glories and also three EPL titles
