In the 2018-19 League Managers Awards, which football coach was named manager of the year?
Christopher John Wilder (born 23 September 1967) is an English professional football manager and former player who played as a right back. He is the manager of Premier League club Sheffield United.
His extensive professional playing career saw spells at Sheffield United (twice), Rotherham United, Notts County, Bradford City, Brighton & Hove Albion and Halifax Town. He also had loan spells at five clubs.
After retiring, he became a manager and was in charge of Alfreton Town, Halifax Town (their last manager before liquidation), Oxford United and Northampton Town before his appointment at Sheffield United. He won promotion from the Conference Premier with Oxford via the play-offs in 2010, from League Two as champions with Northampton in 2016, from League One with Sheffield United as champions in 2017, and from the Championship with the same club two years later.
On 28 April 2019, it was confirmed that Wilder had led Sheffield United to the Premier League following nearest rival Leeds' 1–1 draw at home. This ensured his second promotion in just three years at the club. This achievement earned him the League Managers Association (LMA) Manager of the Year award.
