Martin Ling is among the nominations for Sky Bet League 1 Manager of the Month after making a quick impact on his return to Swindon Town.
Ling took over at the County Ground in the first week of November and his side has since claimed nine points from four games, scoring nine goals in the process.
He faces competition for the prize from Coventry City boss Tony Mowbray, who has guided the Sky Blues to the top of the table after an unbeaten month.
Coventry claimed 11 points in five games, including an impressive 4-1 win over promotion rivals Gillingham.
That points haul was one fewer than Peterborough's Graham Westley, whose side owned a 100 per cent record in an exciting month for their fans.
Posh scored 14 goals in four wins in November, with four of them coming from teenage midfielder Jermaine Anderson, who has been nominated for Player of the Month honours.
The final manager on the list is Port Vale's Rob Page, whose side claimed nine points from 12 in November to move to the fringe of the play-off race.
Along with Anderson, the player of the month nominations also include Coventry City striker Jacob Murphy, Doncaster forward Andy Williams and Bradford goalkeeper Ben Williams.
Murphy went one goal better than Anderson last month, scoring five times as the Sky Blues took top spot and including a 10-minute hat-trick in the win over the Gills.
He has already been named PFA Player of the Month for November in League One.
Williams scored twice in four games for Doncaster and Williams earns a nomination for keeping four clean sheets in five games for the Bantams.
