Nigel Pearson, Sean Dyche among Championship Manager of the Month nominees

Nigel Pearson and Sean Dyche are among the nominees for the Championship Manager of the Month award for April.

Pearson guided Leicester City to the title and a return to the Premier League for the first time in 10 years as the Foxes picked up 14 points from a possible 21.

Meanwhile, five wins and one draw saw Dyche's Burnley secure their place in the top flight for next season.

Brighton & Hove Albion's Oscar Garcia is also nominated after steering the Seagulls to the cusp of the playoffs. A highlight for the club was a 4-1 win at champions Leicester.

Millwall boss Ian Holloway completes the shortlist as an unbeaten month saw the Lions give themselves a big chance of avoiding relegation.

The winner of the award will be revealed on Friday morning.
