Jose Mourinho has been named Manager of the Month after guiding Tottenham to three wins and a draw from their four Premier League games in November.
Tottenham started the month with a 2-1 win at home to Brighton on November 1 before beating West Brom 1-0 at the Hawthorns on November 8, courtesy of a dramatic late winner from captain Harry Kane.
Spurs extended their winning run with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City on November 21 before ending the month with a 0-0 draw against Mourinho's former club Chelsea on November 29.
"For me it is not manager of the month - it is team of the month," said Mourinho, when presented with the award.
"I believe it is about us as a team, it's about the results that we had in November. It's not about me.
"If it was about me, it would have to be for the coaching staff because without the other guys, it wouldn't be possible.
"I don't feel it as an individual award - I always feel it belongs to the team, to the results that we did.
"If we didn't have three victories and one draw at Stamford Bridge in November, for sure we wouldn't have any chance to win it."
