Former Town boss Mick McCarthy was inducted into the LMA Hall of Fame 1000 Club at the 33rd League Managers Association Annual Awards dinner on Tuesday evening.

McCarthy was manager at Portman Road from 2012 until 2018, taking charge of 279 matches, winning 105, drawing 76 and losing 98, a win percentage of 37.63.

The former centre-half also had spells in charge of Millwall, Sunderland, Wolves, APOEL Nicosia in Cyprus, Cardiff City and Blackpool, as well as two stints with the Republic of Ireland, who he took to the last 16 of the 2002 World Cup. In total, Barnsley-born McCarthy has taken charge of 1,042 competitive matches.

David Moyes, Jose Mourinho and Ian Holloway were also inducted into the LMA Hall of Fame 1,000 Club, while Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, Eddie Howe of Newcastle, Arsenal Women’s manager Renee Slegers and Chelsea Women’s coach Sonia Bompastor all won the John Duncan Award, which recognises "those who have achieved historic and notable successes for their clubs this season” and is named after the 1980s Town boss.

The EFL Manager of the Year awards for each division went to Daniel Farke of Leeds, Chris Davies of Birmingham and Doncaster’s Grant McCann.

Bompastor also won the Barclays Women's Super League Manager of the Year, while Portsmouth’s Jay Sadler claimed the Barclays Women's Championship Manager of the Year.
