Sir Alex Named LMA Manager Of The Year Print E-mail
Monday, 12 May 2008

ImageManchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been named the League Managers' Association's Manager of the Year for 2007/08...

FergusonThe Scotsman sealed his 10th Premier League title in the 16 years the competition has been in existence on Sunday, and is now looking forward to Moscow, where his side face Chelsea and the chance to win their second Champions League trophy during their tenure, and third in total.

Sir Alex previously won the award in 1999, when he of course led his side to an historic treble, capped by Champions League glory he will be hoping he can re-live in just over a week's time.

He succeeds Reading boss and former Manchester United player Steve Coppell, who won the award in the previous two seasons for his heroics with a limited Reading side, who suffered the unfortunate fate of relegation this time around.

Upon winning the award, Ferguson said: "It is a tremendous honour that my fellow managers and LMA members should deem me worthy of this award. I am very proud to receive it."

The Coca-Cola Championship manager of the year award went to West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Mowbray, who saw his side finish top of the table in style, boasting an exceptional goal difference.

To continue the pattern, Swansea manager Roberto Martinez won League One and also picked up the award. Graham Turner won the award for League Two, after the remarkable feat of sealing automatic promotion in their first season back in the Football League.

LMA chairman and former Leeds and England manager Howard Wilkinson made a statement upon the awards being announced

"The awards recognise the achievements of the managers across the four top leagues in England," he declared.

"Recognition by your peers is an incredible privilege and this year's winners should be proud of their achievements.

"The LMA would like to congratulate all the managers for playing such an integral role in another fantastic season."
