League One

Chris Davies, Birmingham City

The former Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Celtic assistant manager has certainly proved he’s worth his salt as a first-time Head Coach.

With Chris Davies at the helm, Birmingham City broke the coveted 100-point marker to secure League One promotion and a return to the Championship at the first time of asking.

However, the Blues achieved a record-breaking season to date under the former midfielder's reign, averaging an impressive 2.36 points per game.

Despite confirming their place at the top early doors, with a mighty 16 points now separating the Blues and current league runners-up, Wrexham, Davies’s outfit has shown no indication of letting up, having broken the third-tier points record formerly set by Wolves, and the overall EFL record in their sights.

Davies said: "It feels wonderful to win this award. It's been an amazing day, obviously we lifted the trophy today in front of so many fans, won 4-0 and got the points record, and then I've come down here and won this. It's as good a day as you could hope for.

"I couldn't have dreamed of anything better when I first arrived at Birmingham City. The season has exceeded my expectations.

"Expectations have been extremely high, but we have handled it by focusing on how we play the games, train and prepare, and then hopefully you get the wins to go with it.

"The players have been unbelievable, that's why I'm here today with this award, because of them and the staff."
