Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has been named Barclays
manager of the month for April.
Villa were unbeaten for the month under the Irishman, who has won
the award four times, winning all three of their away games.
Trips to Blackburn, Middlesbrough and Manchester City earned nine
points and draws were secured at Villa Park against Everton, Wigan
and Portsmouth.
Jim Hytner, from the Barclays Awards Panel, said: "Martin O'Neill
has made a terrific impact in his first season back in the Barclays
Premiership.
"He's built a team full of young talent that is becoming
increasingly hard to beat, no more so than in April.
"Three successive away wins also demonstrate that his Villa side
combines a solid defence with real threat in attack."
O'Neill last won the award in November 1999 when he was manager at
Leicester.
