Jim Magilton has missed out on his first Manager of the Month gong with Roberto Martinez, boss of weekend opponents Swansea, winning January's award. Magilton was nominated alongside Cardiff's Dave Jones and Paulo Sousa of QPR.

Martinez says he will keep the trophy at the Liberty Stadium as he says it doesn't just mark his own achievements: "I think this award is for everyone who works at the club because everyone contributes to the success.

"We were lucky enough to win the Coca-Cola award three times last season and all those trophies went to live in the stadium, so this one will as well.

"It's a very proud achievement for the whole club and hopefully we can maintain our form and finish in the play-offs."
