Jose Mourinho has been named the Premier League Manager of the Season for 2014-15, after guiding Chelsea to their first top-flight crown in five years.
The Portuguese went the entire campaign without winning a single Manager of the Month award, but he has been rewarded for his overall success by claiming the league’s top accolade.
As well as storming to the domestic title, the Blues also tasted success in the League Cup this year by seeing off Tottenham Hotspur in the Wembley final.
Mourinho said: “It is, as you like to say in England, the icing on the cake, but the cake is more important than the icing.
“The cake is the Premier League, the cake is the objective of the manager, of the technical staff, of the squad, of the club, of the millions of supporters, and I work for the cake, I don’t work for this.
“If, at the top of the cake, I am the manager of the season, obviously I am very happy with that.”
Chelsea round off their campaign with a home match against Sunderland this weekend.
