No Surprise As Coleman Named Manager Of The Month

Last updated : 05 March 2009 By Covsupport News Service
It was no surprise that Coventry City manager Chris Coleman was named as the Championship Manager Of The Month for February.

The Sky Blues were unbeaten during the month, beating promotion hopefuls Birmingham City and Wolverhampton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers after a replay and winning at Norwich City as well as picking up a draw at Burnley.

Chris Kamara, who is on the panel of judges told the Football League website: "Chris Coleman has enjoyed an unbelievable month at Coventry. To beat the top two in the Championship in the manner in which they did was a fantastic achievement and underlines the progress the club are making. The whole of Coventry is buzzing on the back of their recent results and if the Sky Blues can continue their winning habit there is no reason why they can't muscle in on the Play-Off places come the end of the season."

All at Covsupport News Service send our congratulations to Chris,Steve and the players on the winning of this award.
