Last updated on .From the section Football
Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna, Leeds United manager Daniel Farke and Hull City head coach Liam Rosenior have been nominated for Championship manager of the season.
Ipswich are top of the table, with Leeds second and Hull in 10th place.
Leeds' Crysencio Summerville, Leicester's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Blackburn's Sammie Szmodics are up for the player of the season prize.
The English Football League awards will be held on Sunday, 14 April in London.
McKenna has guided Suffolk side Ipswich to the top of the second tier as they try to secure back-to-back promotions.
Farke, who previously won the award while in charge of Norwich in 2021, has helped the Whites maintain an unbeaten home record this season as they look for an immediate return to the top flight.
Rosenior's Tigers are six points off the play-offs, after a run of six games without a win had dented their push for a top-six spot.
Dutch winger Summerville has been key to Leeds' strong showing, with 17 goals and eight assists, while Foxes midfielder Dewsbury-Hall has scored 13 and claimed a further 11 assists for the third-placed side.
Szmodics is the division's top scorer with 23 goals, despite Rovers being 17th in the table.
League One leaders Portsmouth have boss John Mousinho and skipper Marlon Pack up for the division's manager and player of the season awards respectively.
Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson and defender Harrison Burrows are both also nominated, as are Stevenage manager Steve Evans and Derby winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.
Meanwhile, Mansfield, second in League Two, have both manager Nigel Clough and forward Davis Keillor-Dunn nominated for recognition.
MK Dons boss Mike Williamson and Crewe manager Lee Bell complete the nominations for the division's manager of the season, with Wrexham forward Elliot Lee and Notts County winger Jodi Jones joining Keillor-Dunn on the player award shortlist.
