It's possibly Rahul's final season in Top 100, as he pursues real life commitments instead. So here's a quick tribute to Rahul and all he's brought to Top 100 and Soccer Manager in general - and in particular with his very accurate player ratings predictions.

Rahul has managed in every division except D4, and won D3 twice - with first club Aston Villa in Season 3, and now with Hertha Berlin.

He moved on to Manchester United after his success with Villa, and took the fallen giants back to D1 at the first attempt, finishing second in D2. After a creditable fifth place in D1, Rahul stepped down to take on the challenge of management in D5 and the Ukraine.

That move didn't really work out, and was followed by a disastrous season in charge of Sampdoria, finishing bottom of D2.

Rahul stepped into the massive boots left by Hertha Hero Mark Stewart, and had two tough seasons culminating in another bottom placed finish in D2.

A mixed bag, in some ways, lots of success in his first seasons with Villa and United, then some seasons of struggle. So it's fitting that Rahul bows out, for the time being at least, with his most successful season to date.

All the best, Rahul, and thanks for all you've done for Top 100 and SM.

All awards based on votes cast on the newsfeed and via private messages with the Top 100 manager selection panel.

Division Five

Mike T's Marseille led the way in D5 for much of the season, but they couldn't hold out and let last season's 99th placed club Twente steal their ice cream.

Ignazio Barraco did a sterling job with his exciting Udinese project in finishing third, and dark horse David Inglis brough Rubin Kazan up via a late surge and the playoffs.

But the clear winner for D5 Manager of the Season is Paul Thompson for his Twente transformation.

Division Four

Really only two teams in it, but first a mention for two South American clubs and their managers, who had great seasons and were both on the cusp of fantastic seasons. That is, until disaster struck for both River Plate and Sao Paulo, or rather Dnipro strung together five wins on the bounce to take third place.

To add insult to injury, Spartak stole the playoff place to go up alongside Koln and Stoke City.

Champions Koln finished 99th in the league four seasons ago, so it's been a remarkable rise for them and manager Neil Frankland. But's a tough league and D4 runners-up Stoke also made the semi-finals of the Youth Shield, and the finals of the World Club Shield and Top 100 Cup.

So the D4 Manager of the Season Award goes to ruts66 ...

Division Three

Only really one manager who got the votes in D3. Not Dan Wallace, who did a remarkable job taking Montpellier into D2 with their second consecutive playoff victory. Not Bojan H, who took Basel back to D2 for the first time since Season 3. And not manager of champions Hertha, Rahul, in what could be his final season in Top 100.

For taking relegation candidates Shakhtar Donetsk back to D2 for the first time in seven seasons, D3 Manager of the Season is... Broon!

Division Two

Special mention for Sassuolo gaffer Bob «Groucho» Sal who won the Youth Cup against all the odds. And for Schalke supremo Doc, who won promotion back to D1 via the playoffs in his first season in charge, as did Mister TRX with D2 runner-up PSG. And to Hellas Verona boss Andre Libras-Boas, for his third promotion in four seasons.

But for leading Borussia Dortmund to a runaway championship, D2 Manager of the Season is James Foster.

Division One

Great, if ultimately futile, effort from Jay Jones to keep Internazionale in D1. Brilliant, if predictably unsuccessful, attempt by Sir Stephen Beddows to win D1. Real Madrid are now the only team in Top 100 history to have finished above Bayern Munich twice and not won the title.

Honourable mentions to Paddy D, last season's D2 champions, for pushing hard for the top four for most of the season, to Andy Kelly at Liverpool for a superb third place, and to Doug Earle for turning around Atletico's season and winning the Top 100 Shield.

For finishing as many points above 4th placed Juventus as the Old Lady finished above last placed Manchester United, D1 Manager of the Season is Scott McKenzie of Barcelona!

Top 100 Manager of the Season

Ruts, Broon and Foster all had terrific seasons in their respective divisions (and also in some of the cups in ruts' case), and Thommo turned around Twente in spectacular fashion.

But the Top 100 Manager of the Season for Season 10 is Scott McKenzie for obliterating D1, and notching a record sixth title. Can he become the first manager to win three consecutive D1 titles in Season 11...?

It’s great to see my achievements noticed. 6th in our 1st season in the top flight was amazing and exceeded our own goal of a top half finish. I know next season is going to be tough, but we will aim to better ourselves again next season and aim to crack that top 4! Our squad has come on so much since 1st taking over 9 seasons ago with a strong 11 and some fantastic young players coming through, who will keep Genoa as one of the elite for years to come. So thank you to all those who voted.
