The manager of Brentford FC has been shortlisted for the Premier League Manager of the Season award.

Thomas Frank has enjoyed an incredible debut Premier League season following the Bees promotion last May.

After an opening night victory over Arsenal there have been home wins over Everton, Watford, Aston Villa, Burnley, West Ham United, and Southampton, plus that unforgettable 3-3 draw against Liverpool.

On the road, the Bees 4-1 victory at Chelsea was the biggest win a newly-promoted side has ever had over a team that started the day in the top three.

With two games of the season left to play, Brentford is guaranteed to finish on its best-ever league position since 1938 and their fourth-highest finish of all time.

Up against the Bees boss on the five-man shortlist for the prestigious management prize is Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool), Eddie Howe (Newcastle United), and Patrick Vieira (Crystal Palace).

This nomination is the latest in a string of accolades for Frank this season, with two LMA Performance of the Weeks, April's Barclays Manager of the Month and the Danish Coach of the Year among them.
