  Everton's David Moyes has been named as the League Managers' Association's manager of the year for the third time.

  

  The Scot, who guided the Toffees to fifth in the Premier League as well as the FA Cup final, has twice previously won the award in 2003 and 2005.

  Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson won the LMA Special Merit Award for his success this season.

  Son Darren, Peterborough boss, won the League One title and Wolves boss Mick McCarthy took the Championship prize.

  Brentford's Andy Scott was named as the League Two manager of the year after guiding the west London club to promotion.

  Moyes's third win means he has achieved a feat even compatriot Ferguson has yet to achieve.

  Manager of the Year Moyes would rather win FA Cup

  This season’s Manager of the Year, Everton’s David Moyes, says he would rather win the FA Cup than receive personal accolades.

  The Toffees face Chelsea in the cup final at Wembley on Saturday and despite being proud of his achievement, Moyes rally wants to grab some silverware.

  “It’s always nice to be recognised by your fellow managers and I’m very proud to have won three times,” said Moyes, who received the same award in 2003 and 2005.

  “I see this as an award for club as much as myself and it’s a reflection on how well the players have done again this season.

  “We started losing players at Christmas time, then lost Mikel [Arteta] in February and Victor Anichebe as well but we eventually hauled ourselves over the line and finished fifth.

  “To finish fifth and reach a cup final is great achievement. But, as I have said many times before, I would rather win team awards. We are ready and it’s out next step.”
