Rafael Benitez (Chelsea): five wins, one draw
Rafael Benitez was appointed the interim manager in the month of November when Chelsea were in a complete mess. He achieved all the targets that was given to him in dignified manner. He won silverware in form of Europa League this season, which made Chelsea the first team in history to hold both Europa League and Champions League simultaneously. The month started with a 3-1 thrashing of Basel at home in the Europa League semi-final, followed by 1-0 victory against eventual champions Manchester United. Then came a stutter with a 2-2 draw against Tottenham at home; but then there were two impressive displays against Aston Villa and Benfica, the latter being the Europa League final in Amsterdam. The scoreline was 2-1 in Chelsea’s favour on both occasions. Benitez ended on a high as Chelsea won 2-1 against Everton that propelled them to third place and guaranteed them automatic qualification into the Champions League.
