Clarets chief wins manager of the year at LMA awards

Burnley lifted another trophy on Tuesday night as Vincent Kompany was awarded the LMA Manager of the Season for the Sky Bet Championship.

The Clarets boss and his side secured the Championship title in fine fashion in his first season in charge of the Club with Burnley achieving an immediate return to the Premier League.

Kompany was nominated by his fellow managers ahead of other nominees Middlesbrough boss, Michael Carrick, Sheffield United's Paul Heckingbottom, Luton Town's play-off winning coach Rob Edwards and Mark Robins of Coventry City.

Following a fantastic campaign, the Belgian was also named the EFL Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Season in April and won the EFL Sky Bet Manager of the Month award four times across the season.

Speaking after picking up the award Kompany said: 'The players have done it and the staff have been relentless.

'I can still relate to the players, I feel connected to what they are going through. I make mistakes and don't see myself as the finished article. You make mistakes and learn. I'm pretty pleased where I am today."

The awards are voted by all the managers in their respective divisions who take into account which of their direct competitors has made the greatest use of the resources available to them in the current season.
