Karen Hills has insisted on sharing the plaudits with Juan Amoros after being named FA Women’s Championship Manager of the Month for January.

The Spurs Ladies boss has collected the award from the League Managers Association for the second time this season but, after missing a couple of games through a pre-planned absence at the start of January, has accepted the prize on behalf of the whole management team, with Head Coach Juan having led the team to consecutive victories at Sheffield United (2-1) and at home to Lewes (3-0) in her absence.

Karen was back in the dugout as the Ladies made it three out of three with a dramatic 3-2 win at Millwall on 27 January to open up a four-point lead at the top of the table.
