EVANS UP FOR MANAGER OF THE MONTH

United head coach shortlisted for March award...

United boss Steve Evans has been nominated for March's Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month award.

Evans led his side to an impressive three wins from four games last month, with the victories over Bolton Wanderers, Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers all coming in the space of a week.

Striker Mirco Antenucci netted four goals from those three wins, and the Italian is among the nominees for March's Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month award.

The other Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month nominees for March are...

Sean Dyche (Burnley)
Another seamless month as Dyche’s men extended their lead atop the Championship by collecting 10 points from a possible 12. He also guaranteed hero worship at Turf Moor by masterminding a 1-0 win over fierce rivals Blackburn Rovers.

Russell Slade (Cardiff City)
Calmness under fire has been his signature this season. Blending together a squad when players are sold is not easy, but Slade has done so with an assurance that saw his side garner seven points from four games.

Neil Warnock (Rotherham United)
More used to winning promotion than staving off relegation, he instilled a collective steel in his players to secure 10 points from four games. Wins over Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday helped lift Rotherham out of the bottom three.

ALL WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON FRIDAY APRIL 8

The judging panel comprises former Ipswich Town manager George Burley, Sky Sports’ Football League expert Don Goodman, Football League Chief Operating Officer Andy Williamson, League Managers’ Association Director Olaf Dixon and Sky Bet Football Trading Manager Paul Lowery.
