Plymouth Argyle manager Steven Schumacher has become the first manager to win back to back League One manager of the month awards after following up winning the award for October 2022.
During the course of the month, the Pilgrims won six of their seven league encounters. It was a run that included a 1-0 win away to Wycombe Wanderers, a 2-1 home win over fellow promotion contenders Sheffield Wednesday and their 4-2 Devon derby victory over Exeter City which saw televised on Sky Sports. It was enough to earn him the prize for the second time on the trot and it saw Argyle open up a four-point gap at the top of the table.
The last League One manager to win back to back manager of the month awards was Paul Cook in March and April 2018 when he led Wigan Athletic to the League One title in the 2017-18 season.
If Schumacher can emulate that achievement with the Pilgrims, then he will find himself in the same company as Bob Jack, Jimmy Rae, Jack Rowley, Tony Waiters, Dave Smith and Paul Sturrock, who have all led Argyle into the second tier of English football.
