Claudio Ranieri has landed a pair of top managerial awards as reward for a superb season with Leicester City.
The Italian was named the LMA Manager of the Year as well as the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Year after guiding Leicester to a remarkable Premier League triumph in 2015/16.
Ranieri becomes just the second non-British manager to win the LMA award, following Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, who clinched the accolade in 2002 and 2004.
The 64-year-old was a thoroughly deserved winner of both awards having masterminded a first title win for the Foxes in their 132-year history.
Bournemouth's Eddie Howe won the award last season while past winners include Sir Alex Ferguson, Alan Pardew, David Moyes, Roy Hodgson and Brendan Rodgers.
Brighton & Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton took out the Championship Manager of the Year prize, Wigan Athletic's Gary Caldwell won the League One edition and Northampton Town boss Chris Wilder landed the League Two award.
