His Baggies side won the title this season, and Mowbray was presented with the prize by the England coach Fabio Capello in Nottingham on Monday night.

The awards cover all four divisions in the Football League as well as the Premier League.

"The LMA would like to congratulate all the managers for playing such an integral role in another fantastic season."

Manchester United's boss Sir Alex Ferguson took the main prize, the LMA Manager of the Year award, after guiding his side to the Premier League title and a place in the Champions League final.

Roberto Martinez, of Swansea City, won the League One honours with Hereford's Graham Turner taking the prize in League Two.
