Watford's Giuseppe Sannino among Manager of the Month nominees

Watford manager Giuseppe Sannino has been recognised for the club's recent run by being nominated for February's Championship Manager of the Month award.

The Italian guided Watford to 11 points and four clean sheets from six games, including an impressive 2-2 draw at league leaders Leicester City.

Sannino is nominated alongside Burnley's Sean Dyche, Steve McClaren of Derby County and Wigan Athletic's Uwe Rosler.

Dyche's Clarets continue to surprise and scored more goals than anyone else in February to strengthen their position in the top two.

Derby were extremely stubborn in February, collecting 10 points from a possible 12, including a run of three 1-0 wins on the trot.

Lastly, Rosler's Wigan are hitting top form and won four out of five games in the second month to close in on the playoff places.

The winner will be announced on Friday morning.
