Newcastle boss Pardew named LMA Manager of Year

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has been named the LMA's Manager of the Year.

The 50-year-old beat the likes of Manchester City's Roberto Mancini, Norwich chief Paul Lambert and Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers to the award.

"It is an incredible honour," said Pardew. "Coming from my fellow managers, this really is as good as it gets and has to be the highlight of my managerial career so far.

"This award is not just for me. Everything we have achieved has been achieved as a result of an incredible team effort. The board, my coaching staff, backroom team, players and our magnificent supporters - they all play a crucial role and I thank every one of them."

Reading boss Brian McDermott was named as the Championship LMA Manager of the Season while Charlton boss Chris Powell scooped the League One Manager prize after leading them to the championship.

Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio took the League Two Manager of the Year prize after leading the Robins to the championship and promotion back to League One.
