Jose Mourinho has been named Premier League manager of the year by the League Manager's Association after his Chelsea side won a league and Capital One Cup double this season.

Mourinho did not attend the LMA ceremony in London on Tuesday evening as he was at Chelsea's own club awards event.

The Portuguese had already been named Barclays Premier League Manager of the Season despite not once winning the monthly award throughout the season.

Despite the accolades coming his way, Mourinho was still complaining about a perceived lack of recognition for his side in his speech at Chelsea's event.

Mourinho said: "I don't think my players got the respect that they deserve after what they did from day one until the last day.

"And these are words that I really feel, serious words."

Eddie Howe was named Sky Bet Championship manager of the year after leading Bournemouth to promotion.

The League One award went to Steve Cotterill after Bristol City's title-winning season.

The only divisional award not to go to the boss of the title-winning side was the League Two gong, which went to Wycombe's Gareth Ainsworth despite his side losing the play-off final to Southend on penalties.

Bradford City's Phil Parkinson was named FA Cup manager of the year after his side beat Chelsea and Sunderland en route to the quarter-finals of the competition.
