Darren Moore gathers staff together after winning Premier League manager of the month
Darren Moore has been named Premier League manager of the month for April - and he gathered more than 100 staff at the training ground to share the prize.
The caretaker boss beat Pep Guardiola, Sam Allardyce, Roy Hodgson, and Jose Mourinho to the gong after turning Albion's fortunes around.
He was unbeaten throughout April, masterminding victories over Manchester United and Newcastle United away from home, and picking up two draws at The Hawthorns against Swansea and Liverpool.
And instead of revelling in the accolade himself, he insisted on bringing as many club staff as possible to the training ground to share in the success.
Ticket office staff, commercial staff, training ground, stadium staff, retail staff, media staff and more all gathered for a photo.
“I’m delighted, it has been a wonderful joint effort by everyone here,” said Moore. “I stand here to collect the award but, as I’ve said before, it has been a joint effort by everyone at West Bromwich Albion Football Club.
“There has been unity here between all the departments of the club and together that has helped the players put the performances together on the pitch.
“Everyone knows my connection with the football club, I know everybody and everybody knows me.
"Together we’re working and it’s been good to see the transition over the past four or five weeks and long may that continue.”
Moore was selected by a combination of votes from a panel of experts and the public.
Jake Livermore has been nominated for the Premier League player of the month award for April. The winner is due to be announce on Wednesday.
