Oxford United Boss Liam Manning was today named as the Sky Bet League 1 Manager of the Month for August.
The U’s were the early pacesetters in League 1 with four straight wins to leave them top of the table, making Liam the outstanding candidate for the judges and the first Oxford Manager to win the award since Ramon Diaz in January 2005.
“It’s great for the club” Liam said. “I actually think the title should change because it’s not just about one person. The award reflects the hard work that everybody at the club puts in: the coaching staff, medical, sports science, recruitment, the kitman, chefs at the Training Ground: all of the staff who provide unbelievable support to the players.
“I was aware of the gap since the last time the club won it so it’s nice to see Oxford United gain recognition once again and now it is up to us to build on what was a very promising first month. “
