After being presented with his award, Sven said, “I’m honoured to get this award. We had a good start, but after receiving an award like this it’s a must to thank the staff around me, the players, the club and the new owner.
“There’s a lot of work gone behind the scenes here, but it’s an honour and I’m very happy about it. As I have said before, this is the best league in the world and if you want to compete with other managers then you have to do so here.”
