For his efforts in guiding Liverpool Football Club into winning a first English Premier League and a first league title in thirty years, Jurgen Klopp has been named the League Managers Association manager of the year.

Klopp’s team won the Premier League – the Reds’ first English top-flight title for 30 years.

In announcing Klopp as the winner on Sky Sports, former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hailed Klopp’s award, saying it was thoroughly deserved.

“It was thoroughly deserved. The performance level of your team was outstanding. Your personality runs right through the whole club. I’ll forgive you for ringing me at half-past three in the morning to tell me you had won the league – thank you!” Ferguson said.

Emma Hayes won the FA Women’s Super League manager of the year award after leading Chelsea to the title.

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa won the Championship award after guiding his side to the title and promotion to the Premier League.
