Coventry City boss Frank Lampard and Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney have been named the Championship manager and player of the season at the EFL Awards.
Lampard led the Sky Blues back to the Premier League after a 25-year absence in his first full season in charge.
Hackney, 23, has been an influential figure in Boro's promotion bid, with five goals and eight assists, as well as being a commanding presence in the middle of the park.
Lincoln City's Michael Skubala won the League One manager of the season after guiding the Imps to the second tier for the first time in 65 years, while Leyton Orient's Dom Ballard won the division's player of the season award.
Bromley boss Andy Woodman and Swindon Town striker Aaron Drinan were named manager and player of the season for League Two.
Former Chelsea and England midfielder Lampard took charge of Coventry in November 2024, with the club 17th in the Championship.
He guided them to the play-offs that season, suffering a last-gasp semi-final defeat by Sunderland, but the Sky Blues have used that disappointment as fuel for this campaign, and sealed automatic promotion with a 1-1 draw at Blackburn on Friday.
Lampard beat Millwall's Alex Neil, Hull City's Sergej Jakirovic and Middlesbrough's Kim Hellberg to the manager of the season award.
Four of Lampard's team were named in the Championship team of the season: goalkeeper Carl Rushworth, wing-back Milan van Ewijk, captain Matt Grimes and striker Haji Wright.
Swansea's Zan Vipotnik, the Championship's leading scorer, was nominated for player of the season alongside Rushworth, but both missed out to Hackney.

Leyton Orient striker Ballard, who turned 21 this month, won both the player and young player of the season awards for League One after scoring 22 goals in 38 matches so far this term.
It is a dramatic improvement from last season, when he netted three times in 35 League One appearances during loan spells at Blackpool and Cambridge United while a Southampton player.
It is perhaps no surprise that Skubala won the manager of the season award for League One after his Lincoln team earned promotion to the Championship.
They have conceded just 38 goals in 43 matches, reflected by the fact that their goalkeeper George Wickens and defenders Tendayi Darikwa and Sonny Bradley were three of their four representatives in the team of the season.
