Another Reason To Celebrate
Thu 08 May 2008
Colin Calderwood, still revelling in Nottingham Forest's automatic promotion success, has today been given something else to celebrate.
Calderwood has been named Coca-Cola League One Manager of the Month for April/May after guiding his side to six wins from seven games in that period.
That run of form saw Forest storm the top two, pipping Doncaster to automatic promotion amid scenes of wild celebration at The City Ground.
It's the second time this season Calderwood has been named Manager of the Month - he also captured the won for November.
He told us: "I remember saying when I won the award in November that it didn't really mean too much at that stage of the season and that any manager who wins it in April and May would really have something to smile about.
"Managers who win the award at this stage of the season have usually done something right in terms of getting their team promoted or clear of relegation.
"It's nice to get the award but it's not all about me. We won promotion as a team and a club and have celebrated likewise since Saturday."
