Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has been
named the Barclays Manager of the Month
for March, with Luis Suarez and Steven
Gerrard jointly winning the Player of the
Month award.
It is the second time this season Rodgers
has won the award - he also collected it
back in August.
Liverpool won all five of their Premier
League matches in March to put
themselves firmly in the hunt for the title.
They beat Manchester United 3-0, Cardiff
City 6-3, Southampton 3-0, Tottenham 4-0
and Sunderland 2-1.
Liverpool captain Gerrard and striker
Suarez received the same amount of
votes. Gerrard, who wins the sixth Player
of the Month award of his career, scored
four goals in March, whilst Suarez scored
six. Suarez also won the award in
December.
Rodgers said: "It's not an individual award
really - all our successes are purely down
to a team effort. We receive it gratefully.
We've been on a wonderful run as a team
and over the course of March we've had
some outstanding fixtures and results.
"We are very honoured and humble to
receive it. Up until now we've been
performing really well and we've been
working really hard. Our results are
demonstrating that the improvements are
taking place.
"We've got a really exciting group of young
players here that are improving all the
time and the senior players have been
outstanding for me.
"They have really been wanting to take on
board new concepts and ideas and they've
been taking that on the field and
performing magnificently well.
"So for us at this point our objective is still
to make sure we qualify for the Champions
League - that objective hasn't changed and
that isn't secured yet.
"So at this moment in time the
concentration is just on the performance
and the next game."
