Swansea City head coach Steve Cooper has won the Sky Bet EFL Championship Manager of the Month award for August.

The 39-year-old was recognised after the Swans won five and drew one of their opening six fixtures in the second tier.

Charlton’s Lee Bowyer, Bristol City’s Lee Johnson and Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa were also nominated for the award.

“This award is not about an individual - it is a reflection of the hard work and effort put in not only by the players but the coaching staff and everyone connected to the club,” said Cooper.

“At our club, everyone is part of the team and everything they do contributes to what happens on the pitch.
