Everton's David Moyes has been named as the League Managers' Association's manager of the year for the third time.
The Scot, who guided the Toffees to fifth in the Premier League as well as the FA Cup final, has twice previously won the award in 2003 and 2005.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson won the LMA Special Merit Award for his success this season.
Son Darren, Peterborough boss, won the League One title and Wolves boss Mick McCarthy took the Championship prize.
Brentford's Andy Scott was named as the League Two manager of the year after guiding the west London club to promotion.
Moyes's third win means he has achieved a feat even compatriot Ferguson has yet to achieve.

Congratulations David Moyes. Manager of the Year again
Well done Davey...LMA Manager of the year again. 3rd time in 7 years. Personally I'd have given it to Roy Hodgson this year but who am I to argue

Ooooh David Moyes
Brilliant piece on the BBC website outlining what us bluenoses have known all along
Moyes has proved himself
Moyes is under-stated, dour at times admittedly, but he has produced an Everton team full of passion, character and team spirit. The days of Goodison Park's flirtation with relegation have gone.
The Scot rules pretty much all he surveys at Everton. He is not to be trifled with, just ask Victor Anichebe when you next see him, and his players are seen rather than heard.
He has manouevred his budget skilfully, using particular guile when dipping into the Championship to pay £4m for Phil Jagielka from Sheffield United, £5m to buy Joleon Lescott from Wolves and - in one of the game's great bargains of recent times - £2m to take Tim Cahill from Millwall.
He has been outrageously written off as an international player by some on the basis of a misplaced pass for England against Spain, arguably the world's best international team on Wednesday, but ask Moyes for his rating of Jagielka and he will put it at pretty much priceless.
Indeed, it is interesting that much of Everton's recent resurgence has been based on an all-English back four of Lescott, Jagielka, Tony Hibbert and Leighton Baines.
Moyes has proved himself an able builder of teams, willing to give young English talent a chance and dip into the lower divisions to find talent. He is also happy (well relatively happy) to work within a restricted budget and yet still comes up with results.

David Moyes - Manager of the Year!
Congratulations to David Moyes for scooping the Manager of the year award at the Northwest Football Awards. He did do an absolutely outstanding job last season, I mean ultimately there was only really one blip and that was the FA Cup defeat to Oldham. Great runs in the UEFA & Carling cups and finishing 5th, can't really complain about that.
Oddly enough I was also looking closely at these awards because one of the companies I'm currently working with, JMC, were up for an award for. They provide IT solutions for quite a few of the clubs in the north west so congrats to them too.

Moyes 'agrees £17m Everton deal'
Moyes agrees £17m Everton deal
"Everton boss David Moyes has agreed a new five-year contract with the Merseyside club worth over £17m, BBC Sport understands.
The 45-year-old Moyes, who joined Everton as manager in 2002, confirmed in July that he had opened talks on a new deal with chairman Bill Kenwright"
17m...that's pretty impressive. Can't begrudge him a penny of it. God bless the ginger one.
