Head coach Jackett led Wolves to a sensational season in the third tier but, surprisingly, he only shared the award with play-off boss Slade.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was crowned LMA Manager of the Year while Crystal Palace's Tony Pulis won the Premier League prize.

Despite his side faltering in the final stages of the title race, it was Rodgers who received the majority vote of the 92 league managers. It has been the attacking style of Liverpool that has won over many neutrals and Rodgers, referring to the City celebration in Manchester, joked: "I was hoping to be on the open-top bus tonight."

LMA chairman, Howard Wilkinson, said: "There can be no greater tribute to a manager and his work than a tribute awarded by his match day foes and peers. We applaud Brendan Rodgers as he receives that most valuable award. For Liverpool and Brendan, I'm sure we all hope this season marks the beginning of a new era."
