Mick McCarthy continued Wolves’ silverware success after winning the League Managers’ Association’s Manager of the Year last night.

The Molineux chief won the Championship award at a glittering ceremony in Nottingham after guiding his team to the Premier League last season.

Wolves won the title with 90 points, seven ahead of second placed Birmingham City, to return to the top flight for the first time since 2004.

McCarthy, 50, won the Championship Manager of the Month twice during the season as Wolves topped the table for the majority of the campaign.

They clinched promotion with a 1-0 win at home to QPR in April before winning the title in McCarthy’s hometown of Barnsley with a 1-1 draw in their next game.
