Conte and his team won the Premier League double
Conte and his team's winning streak last month was recognised by a double of individual awards.
The Premier League organizers announced yesterday, November 18, that the titles of Coach and Player of the Month for October respectively belonged to Coach Antonio Conte and midfielder Eden Hazard.

In October, under the leadership of Conte, Chelsea revived strongly when they won 12 points after four rounds. Specifically, they defeated Hull City 2-0, Leicester 3-0, Man Utd 4-0 and Southampton 2-0.
This achievement, combined with a fifth consecutive win - a 5-0 demolition of Everton in early November - helped Chelsea climb from eighth place at the end of September to second place, just one point behind leaders Liverpool.
Chelsea were in impressive form in their four-game winning run in October, scoring 11 goals and conceding none. Hazard was instrumental in that run, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
The 25-year-old midfielder's revival in the left position of a three-man attack has become an inspiration and a driving force for the entire Chelsea team to improve and play better than the erratic period at the beginning of the season.

"This is the first time I have won the manager of the month award. It is a great honour and I want to share it with the players and the club. This award is also very important, we want to continue and maintain our form," Conte shared on Chelsea's website.
In round 12 this weekend, Chelsea have the chance to extend their winning streak in the Premier League to six matches, when they only have to face newly promoted team Boro today, October 20.
