Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has edged past his Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp to a trophy for the second time in three days after the Catalan claimed the League Managers' Association Manager of the Year award on Tuesday.
City beat Brighton on the last Sunday of the season to retain the EPL title, beating Liverpool by just one point, after what had been one of the most closely-fought contests of recent seasons.
Having also won the League Cup earlier in the campaign, Guardiola's side could complete a first-ever domestic treble in English football when they face Watford in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday.
The 48-year-old topped the poll ahead of Klopp, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has led Spurs to their first ever Champions League final, and Nuno Santo at Wolves, who finished seventh in their first season after winning promotion from the Championship.
