​Man City manager Guardiola named LMA Manager of the Year

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is the League Managers' Association Manager of the Year.

Guardiola led his City side to their third Premier League trophy in the past four years.

City clinched the title by 12 points over rivals Manchester United, won the Carabao Cup final against Tottenham, and still have the Champions League final to play against Chelsea.

"I am delighted to win the LMA Manager of the Year award for the second time," Guardiola said. "It is, for me, such a special trophy to win because it is voted for by my fellow managers. An award like this is only possible though if a manager is surrounded by top professionals.

"My players have been fantastic – their dedication and professionalism never wavered, even in a season that has been the most challenging we have ever faced.

"And my staff are also deserving of the highest praise. I am so lucky to have a team of people who give everything they have every single day to make sure Manchester City are the best we can be.

"This award is dedicated to and shared with them."
