"Bournemouth" coach Eddie Howe crowned Pep Guardiola as the best "Premier" league coach of January.
The Catalan earned four consecutive awards from September to December and set a new record, but his dominance in this category came to an end.
The last defeat of the "men" with a score of 4-0 was suffered against "Manchester City" just before Christmas and Howe's proteges found themselves in the relegation zone.
However, in January they did not suffer a single defeat and even climbed to the top half of the league table.
"Bournemouth" started the new year with a draw against "Brighton & Hove Albion", then beat London's "Arsenal" with a score of 2-1. This was followed by a draw away against "West Ham".
The "men" were lifted to the tenth place by the last and most impressive match of January, in which they left no hope for the "Chelsea" footballers with a 3-0 score.
"It was a good month and I would like to dedicate this award to everyone associated with the club", - Howe told the official "Bournemouth" website.
"Certainly, the most remarkable was the match against "Chelsea", but I think we should not forget about the result against "Arsenal".
"It is not only about the results, but also about the performances and how we played."
"We knew that January after the Christmas period would be very important. There are always a lot of games at this time, but we managed it well."
