The English Football League awards will be held on Sunday, 14 April in London.

McKenna has guided Suffolk side Ipswich to the top of the second tier as they try to secure back-to-back promotions.

Farke, who previously won the award while in charge of Norwich in 2021, has helped the Whites maintain an unbeaten home record this season as they look for an immediate return to the top flight.

Rosenior’s Tigers are six points off the play-offs, after a run of six games without a win had dented their push for a top-six spot.
