Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is proud to have been named the LMA's Manager of the Year.
Decided by the votes of every LMA manager - including those of all 92 professional league clubs in England - Rodgers became the first leader of Liverpool to be honoured with the individual award.
"I was extremely proud, as you can imagine," he told Liverpoolfc.com. "I was very honoured to pick up the award.
"I have been a manager for about five years and I remember going to my first LMA awards, and seeing the great names that had won the award in the past.
"You always hope that one day you have done a job worthy of all your peers. It's similar to the players' award really; the biggest compliment you can get is from the people in your own industry."
