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.
