Just as every Blues fan expected, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has deservedly won the October’s Barclays Manager of the Month award.

Conte saw off competition from Stoke City’s Mark Hughes, Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp and Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger to take the prize following a brilliant month for the Blues.

Chelsea were outstanding in the month of October, after Conte had switched to a 3-4-3 formation to change the team’s fortune. Indeed it was a perfect month for Chelsea boss Antonio Conte after he led Chelsea to 4 victories in 4 league games, marked with 4 cleansheets and 11 goals scored.

We all expected him to win it, and he has deservedly won it.
