Watford boss Slavisa Jokanovic has been named the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month.

The Serbian has landed the award for April after guiding the Hornets to five wins and a draw from their six tier two fixtures during April.

In the process, Watford gained promotion to the Premier League and are on the verge of clinching the Championship title with a win over Sheffield Wednesday on the weekend.

"Watford have had a fantastic April, collecting 16 points," said George Burley who was on the judging panel.

"The Sky Bet Championship has been the most closely contested division in England this season and Slavisa and his team must be congratulated for earning automatic promotion."
