Chelsea's Carlo Ancelotti was named the Barclays Manager of the Month for March.
Ancelotti receives the award for the second time this season and the third time in his career after guiding the Blues to three consecutive wins, which has propelled the champions into third place in the Barclays Premier League.
Chelsea started the month by earning a hard fought 2-1 victory against title rivals Manchester United.
Ancelotti's men then comfortably beat Blackpool 3-1 at Bloomfield Road courtesy of a Frank Lampard double and a John Terry header, and rounded off the month by enhancing their title hopes with a 2-0 win against Manchester City.
The decision was made by the Barclays Awards Panel, which includes representatives from football's governing bodies, the media and fans.
