Manuel Pellegrini Named the Premier League Manager of the Month for December 2014

 

Manuel Pellegrini has been named the Premier League Manager of the Month for December 2014 after the Chilean guided Manchester City to five wins last month.

MANCHESTER CITY IN DECEMBER 2014

Sunderland 1-4 Manchester City

Manchester City 1-0 Everton

Leicester 0-1 Manchester City

Manchester City 3-0 Crystal Palace

West Brom 1-3 Manchester City

Manchester City 2-2 Burnley 

The Premier League champions were unbeaten in the month of December and claimed 16 points from a possible 18 in the league.

It was a run of form that helped City claw back eight-point deficit on league-leaders Chelsea to end 2014 within touching distance of the top of the table.

It is the third time Pellegrini has won the award during his 18-month spell in the Premier League, winning it for consecutive months in December 2013 and January 2014.
