EFL Championship Manager of the Month
The Manager of the Month is an association football award that recognises the manager adjudged best for each month of the season in the Football League Championship, the second tier of English football. The recipient is chosen by a panel assembled by the League's sponsor and announced alongside the League One and League Two Manager of the Month awards at the beginning of the following month.[1] For sponsorship reasons, since its inception it has been known as the Coca-Cola Manager of the Month award, with the company sponsoring the league from 2004–2010.[2]
Coca-Cola had agreed a three-year deal to become the new sponsor of the League early in 2004,[3] and in June 2004 it was announced that the League would be completely re-branded.[4] The First Division, which had been the second tier of English football since 1992 when 22 clubs broke away to form the Premier League,[5][6] was renamed The Championship. The Premier League already awarded a Manager of the Month award, since the start of the 1993–94 season,[7] and Coca-Cola introduced a Manager of the Month award for the Championship when they became sponsors at the start of the 2004–05 season; the first recipient was Paul Jewell for his achievements in August 2004 with Wigan Athletic.[8]
Billy Davies has won the managerial award on five separate occasions since it was first awarded in August 2004. Davies won the award twice with Preston North End in the 2005–06 season, twice with Derby County when they won promotion the following season and once with Nottingham Forest where he is currently manager.
