Cheers for the award, commiserations to Josh at Cruzeiro. The only thing I’m interested in for the new season is promotion to Division 3, anything less would be a poor season. If I can get a few more players in I’ll be all set to go.

Terry Morrison, Santos manager, D5 Manager of the Season S12

Thanks everyone for voting me! It was a very intensive season with a lot of good teams and close results! OM had a bit more luck and skill at the end! I would like also to thank Mike T for creating this team! It was easy to take over and move forward! We hope we can stay at D3 for S13. Good luck and have fun!

Chris Baggio, Olympique Marseille manager, D4 Manager of the Season S12

As a lifelong fan of Everton it has been a honour for me to manage them in T100. I still have fond memories of my first ever job in T100 at Galatasaray and am happy with the job I did there, but as soon as the vacancy became available at Goodison Park it was impossible for me to ignore. I’d like to thank firstly the ‘selection panel’ who approved my application 2 seasons ago and gave me the chance to take over at Finch Farm. I’d like to mention the previous manager Mr. Inglis for all the work he did at Everton and I feel he certainly left the squad in very good shape. My first season was painful as a fan, and as a manager. We got off to a very poor start in Division 2 and no matter what I tried we just could not recover and were relegated on the final day of the season. As we didn’t finish bottom 3, I escaped the mandatory sacking and explained my vision to the selection panel, who agreed I could be given another season to turn this great club around. This season has been nothing short of amazing. Top of Division 3 for the majority of the season, being confirmed as Champions and then probably even more rewarding is to hear that I’d been voted Manager of the Season for the division by my fellow T100 managers. I really did go back to the drawing board after relegation, tried different formations and tactics until I could find something that worked for us. After a good pre-season thankfully it clicked and we have enjoyed a superb season with Adrien Rabiot recording outstanding ratings/assists/goals which was equally pleasing as I brought him to the club. Already looking forward to next season back in the 2nd tier, although I understand what a tough challenge it will be. COYB – Once a blue, always a blue!

RJ Alston, Everton manager, D3 Manager of the Season S12

It’s a great honour to receive this award from my fellow managers. Thank you all. It was a tough season with many great contenders. Thought Nuno Bento would win it. What?! He ain’t in D2? He’s still kidnapping kids in D4 competing with Ricardo “SuperWings” Ferreira? Oh sorry! Anyway, it was a memorable season. We played fantastic football! Many thanks to my players & staff! This award is the recognition of their commitment & hard work. I’m lucky to be surrounded by these amazing people. And our tifosi. Week in week out, crowding our Bentegodi with their crazy passion that push us to glory! Hope we can take this wave to next season & return all their efforts. Proud to be a gialloblù!

André Libras-Boas, Hellas Verona manager, D2 Manager of the Season S12

It’s an absolute honour to receive this award, the fact that my fellow managers have voted for me when there has been great achievements by others is testament to the work we have done and are carrying out at Barcelona. Looking back on our League campaign it was neck and neck for most of the season until the last quarter where we seem to be able to keep up the consistency where others fail. We were able to add the Charity Shield this year and also the SMFA Champions Cup so the players have got to take the credit. We have a style and formation we stick to and the players take the credit as they go out and deliver on the pitch. We added Saido Mane to the squad and he has taken a bit of time to settle into the squad so look out for him next season as I think he will become a vital cog in the formidable front 3 we have. Thanks to all who make Top 100 enjoyable and stay safe.

Scott Mckenzie, Barcelona manager, D1 and Top 100 Manager of the Season S12
