Milton Keynes Dons boss Paul Ince has rounded off a successful season by winning the Manager of the Month award for April.
MK Dons were unbeaten in their last League Two 18 games as they swept to the title ahead of Peterborough.
They won four games and drew twice in April before being held to a 1-1 draw by Morecambe on the final day of the season, with their promotion already secured.
Ince beat off competition from Keith Hill of Rochdale, Hereford's Graham Turner and Stockport boss Jim Gannon for the prize.
"When I first took over this wasn't something I envisaged. I would consider it a perfect season," Ince told Sky Sports News.
