Colin Calderwood has been named League One manager of the month for April after leading his Nottingham Forest side to automatic promotion.
Forest won five and drew one of their six games during April including two impressive victories at Carlisle and Tranmere.
The Scot had been under pressure earlier in the season, but he rode out the storm to guide Forest to promotion courtesy of last weekend's win over Yeovil.
Calderwood beat Huddersfield caretaker manager Gerry Murphy, Leeds chief Gary McAllister and Bournemouth boss Kevin Bond to the prize.
