Championship Manager of the year 2012/13. (Who else!) 
LMA manager of the year awards
Premier League - Sir Alex Ferguson
Championship - Malky Mackay
League One - Gary Johnson
League Two - Martin Allen
FA Cup - Roberto Martinez
Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay has been named the Championship manager of the year.
The Scot, who led the Bluebirds to Premier League promotion and the title, was handed the accolade by his peers, the League Managers Association, at a lavish ceremony in London.
Mackay was the favourite to land the prestigious award after his side topped the Championship from November and never loosened their grip on top spot.
The victory was all the sweeter for Mackay after he was not named manager of the month by the Football League even once last term despite his side’s brilliant campaign.
“I am just very proud of the whole club – a lot of people in the last two years have put hard work into building this,” Mackay said.
The Cardiff boss, who has recently been linked with the vacant manager’s job at Everton , is now busy preparing for the Bluebirds’ first season in the top flight in more than half a century.
Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson was named the LMA’s Premier League manager of the year and the outgoing Manchester United boss admitted he was relieved the celebrations to mark his retirement were over.
They culminated in his last match in charge on Sunday, a 5-5 draw at West Brom.
Ferguson said: “It has been overwhelming. The club has been fantastic and congratulations to West Brom with the way they handled yesterday.
“In a way I am glad it is all over now – because it has been hard work!
“I think (West Brom manager) Steve Clarke should get an award because anyone who scores five against United deserves it.”
Ferguson added that he was confident he was leaving United in good hands, with the club’s emphasis on bringing through young players.
United also won the inaugural Under-21 Premier League, beating Tottenham.
He said: “It has always placed a great emphasis on youth long before I came.
“Sir Matt Busby started that and took Manchester United into Europe, the first English club to do so.
“It’s always been there and I have tried to maintain that though it is more difficult in the present climate – you have to scout abroad now but you are still looking for young people who can do well.”
Yeovil’s Gary Johnson was named the League One manager of the year and Gillingham’s Martin Allen won the League Two award.

Interesting looking at that list, only Sir Alex Ferguson is the household name.
He’s also the only one still active at the top (Director at Man Utd).
Martinez was Belgium manager but didn’t do a good job.
Probably highlights how good Sir Alex was that he was manager of the year in his last season.
