Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has scooped the Barclays manager of the Month award for April.
O'Neill guided Villa to an unbeaten run in April, including winning all three of their away games.
Villa ended any lingering doubts of a relegation fight with an impressive run of results in April as they picked up 12 points from six games
Jim Hytner, a member of the judging panel, said: "Martin O'Neill has made a terrific impact in his first season back in the Barclays Premiership.
"He's built a team full of young talent that is becoming increasingly hard to beat, no more so than in April.
"Three successive away wins also demonstrate that his Villa side combines a solid defence with real threat in attack."
O'Neill last won the gong in November 1999 when he was manager at Leicester City.
