Southampton's Tonda Eckert has won the Championship's manager of the month award for February.
Saints took 13 points from a possible 15 as they went unbeaten last month, finishing with successive wins over QPR and Sheffield Wednesday to move into play-off contention.
Eckert was appointed Southampton's permanent head coach in December having been in interim charge when Will Still was sacked at the start of November.
He has won 12 of his 23 league games, taking the south coast club from 21st place to the race for a top-six finish.
Coventry City's Frank Lampard, Philippe Clement of Norwich City and Millwall boss Alex Neil were also nominated for the award.
