November's Premier League Stars Crowned: Player and Manager of the Month Awards Unveiled

Brentford forward Igor Thiago has claimed the Premier League Player of the Month award for November, while Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca secured the managerial honor.

The Brazilian forward is experiencing an exceptional start to the campaign. With 11 goals across 15 appearances, he trails only Erling Haaland in the league's top scorer rankings, netting five times during November's fixtures.

Thiago becomes the fourth unique recipient this season and marks the first occasion a Brentford player has earned the Premier League Player of the Month recognition.

"This achievement holds tremendous significance for me," Thiago expressed. "I'm genuinely delighted to earn this recognition as it validates my dedication and effort on the field.

"I'm genuinely shocked! However, I hope to collect additional awards throughout this campaign. I feel incredibly pleased and take great pride in this accomplishment."

Maresca Earns Manager of the Month Recognition

Simultaneously, Maresca celebrated his second Manager of the Month triumph, guiding Chelsea to an impressive league-leading 10 points throughout an outstanding November period.

The Blues defeated Tottenham Hotspur, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley while building considerable momentum, though they delivered their finest display in a resilient draw against table-toppers Arsenal, despite competing with a numerical disadvantage for the majority of the encounter.

"These accolades come from executing the correct approach," Maresca noted. "Our displays and outcomes were exceptional."

This recognition returns to Maresca's collection for the first time since September 2024, making the Italian the fourth distinct recipient of this honor during the current season.
