Claudio Ranieri has been named Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month for March.
The Leicester manager picks up the award for the second time this season following an unbeaten month which has helped cement their place at the top of the Premier League table.
Italian Ranieri led his side to victories against Watford, Newcastle and Crystal Palace as well as an entertaining 2-2 home draw against West Brom.
Leicester have been a revelation this season and currently sit top of the Premier League table, seven points clear of Tottenham who lead the chasing pack.
The Foxes, who have lost just three matches all season, make the trip to Sunderland on Sunday looking to maintain that gap against the relegation strugglers at the Stadium of Light.
Ranieri saw off competition from West Ham manager Slaven Bilic, Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin and Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe to scoop the award.
The former Chelsea manager has had a good week having also scooped Italian coach of the year.

Tottenham’s Harry Kane has been named Barclays Premier League Player of the Month for March.
The England international striker led the line for title-chasing Tottenham and scored five goals in four matches as Mauricio Pochettino’s side tried to keep the pressure on table-topping Leicester.
Kane kicked off his goalscoring exploits last month against north London rivals Arsenal, a strike that helped his side secure a point at White Hart Lane.
He followed that up with both goals in a 2-0 victory against Aston Villa on March 13 before again bagging a brace a few days later, this time in a routine win at home against Bournemouth.
Kane saw off competition from West Ham attacker Dimitri Payet, Leicester duo Wes Morgan and Riyad Mahrez, Southampton’s Graziano Pelle and Swansea defender Ashley Williams to scoop the gong.
