Newcastle Boss Rafa Benitez Named November Premier League Manager Of The Month

Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez has been named Premier League Manager of the Month for November after guiding the Magpies to three consecutive wins

Newcastle had failed to register a single win in the 2018-19 season going into the month, but a nine-point haul helped move them away from the relegation zone.

“It’s always good to win trophies – I would obviously like to win more manager of the month awards, as that means we’re in a better position in the table,” Benitez said.

“It’s good for the staff too, everyone that is helping you because it gives you extra motivation.”

However Newcastle have since embarked on a three-match winless run but can get back on track with a win against Huddersfield away on Saturday.
