Chelsea gained three league wins in match, including victories over Manchester United, Blackpool and Manchester City. Brazilian defender Luiz was named Player of the Month for scoring goals against Man United and City. And Ancelotti was also named Manager of the Month.
"It is an honor to win this award, it rewards the efforts of everybody at the club, not just the manager, and I hope the good form will continue through the busy period we have in front of us," said Ancelotti, who also won the award in November 2009 and September 2010.
"David Luiz has started his life in Chelsea very well, and he will be an important player for us for the rest of the season and in the future."
