Rafa Benitez has today been named Barclays Manager of the Month for October.

The Reds enjoyed four straight league victories in October which soar them soar to the top of the Premier League table.
A thrilling comeback from 2-0 down at Manchester City was followed by another 3-2 victory at home to Wigan before the Reds travelled to Chelsea to memorably end the home side's unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge.
The month ended with another victory at home to Portsmouth, with Steven Gerrard sealing the points with a late penalty.
"I am really pleased to receive this on behalf of my staff because they are doing very well. People like Sammy Lee, Mauricio Pellegrino, Xavi Valero and Paco Di Miguel," said Benitez today.
"It's important for the staff and it's important because it means the team is playing well - you can't win Manager of the Month unless the team is winning.
"It means the club is in a good position. Hopefully we can receive more awards like this because it means we'll be in a good position at the end of the season."
