Jose Mourinho named Barclays Manager of the Season as Chelsea star Eden Hazard receives best player award.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been named the Barclays Manager of the Season, with his star man Eden Hazard scooping the player award.

The Portuguese boss helped the Blues to their first Premier League title in five years after a dominant season which saw them top of the table for a record 274 days.

It is the third time Mourinho has been awarded the Manager of the Season accolade - the others also came after Premier League title triumphs in 2004-05 and 2005-06.

Mourinho has won the award despite not winning a Manager of the Month prize all season. Indeed, he has only won a monthly honour three times during his two spells at the club. 

Belgium international Hazard, 24, has enjoyed a sensational season, scoring 14 Premier League goals and contributing nine assists.He has played in all 37 of Chelsea's league matches.

The duo were selected from the Barclays Panel that included a group of former players, journalists and football stakeholders. Mourinho was chosen from a 
five-strong list of candidates drawn up by the Premier League, the others being Ronald Koeman, GarryMonk, Nigel Pearson and Arsene Wenger.
Meanwhile, four Chelsea players were among the list of eight from which Hazard was chosen. The others were John Terry, Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic but the Belgian international made it a personal treble having already claimed the PFA and Writers awards. The other four in contention were Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, goalkeeper David de Gea of Manchester United, Tottenham's PFA Young Player of the Year Harry Kane and Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal.
