The 2-2 draw at Derby County at the start of April proved the only blemish in an otherwise flawless month, with Jokanovic's side embarking on a five-game winning streak since.

Their 2-0 win at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend was the victory that ultimately sealed their passage into the top flight after an eight-year absence.

Jokanovic, who was appointed at Vicarage Road in October, has won 21 Championship outings since.
