Manchester City's Pep Guardiola has been named manager of the year by England's League Managers' Association, it was announced on Monday. Former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager Guardiola topped a poll where the other leading contenders were Leeds' Marcelo Bielsa, Norwich's Daniel Farke, Chelsea women's manager Emma Hayes, West Ham's David Moyes and Leicester's Brendan Rodgers. "I am delighted to win the LMA manager of the year award for the second time," said Guardiola. An award like this is only possible though if a manager is surrounded by top professionals. I am so lucky to have a team of people who give everything they have every single day to make sure Manchester City are the best we can be.
