Sports Interactive, the creators of the Football Manager series, are running their own Football Manager Awards for the 2011/12 season.



The boots have been hung up, the trophies engraved and the 'all the squad together, jumping up and down' dances are already fading into memory... which means it's time for the return of the Football Manager Awards! To celebrate every aspect of the greatest job in the world, fans can now decide just who were the top gaffers of the 2011/12 season in a variety of categories.

We don't just want to know who you think was the best manager of the past season, we also want to know who provided the best touchline entertainment, who won the verbal battles and even who dressed the best.

These are the only awards where Sean O'Driscoll and Jurgen Klopp rub shoulders, Neil Warnock and Paulo Di Canio attempt to out-shout one another and Ole Gunnar Solskjær is legitimately young (and not just baby-faced).


The categories are:
  • Manager of the Season
  • Young Manager of the Season
  • Youth Team Manager of the Season
  • Most Successful Transfer
  • Managerial Masterstroke
  • War of the Words
  • By Mutual Consent
  • Great Motivator
  • Technical Area Theatrics
  • Fashion Icon
  • Triumph Over Adversity

  • Technical Area Theatrics - Mourinho.
  • Fashion Icon - I'd say Andre Villas Boas, he is not on the list, but that's my vote.

  • Manager of the Season - Rene Girard (coming out on top of teams like Marseille, Lyon, PSG, Lille etc)
  • Young Manager of the Season - Rodgers (he did really well this year and deserves all the credit)
  • Youth Team Manager of the Season - McPhillips (never heard of any of them, however, after the season Blackburn had, this was quite a feat)
  • Most Successful Transfer - Pardew/Moyes
  • Managerial Masterstroke - SAF (definitely)
  • War of the Words - Jose
  • By Mutual Consent - Sean O'Driscol (that **** is hilarious, where were they?)
  • Great Motivator - Simeone (did well to win Europa)
  • Technical Area Theatrics - Di Canio
  • Fashion Icon - Mancini
  • Triumph Over Adversity - Di Mat (really impressive what he did, even if he does not win the ECL)
