Tony Mowbray has been named Championship Manager of the Month for April.
The final monthly prize of the season, which also includes the single game played in May, has been given to Mowbray after he guided his West Brom side to the title.
The Baggies went unbeaten from the start of April to secure their promotion back to the Premier league.
They won three games in April and also drew three times, before beating Queens Park Rangers in the final game of the season.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis, Kevin Blackwell of Sheffield United and Crystal Place's Neil Warnock were the others in contention for the gong.
