Frank Lampard leads the Championship manager shortlist after Coventry's stunning run, while 20 goals from Zan Vipotnik highlights the player race. The EFL awards shortlist features four managers: Coventry's Frank Lampard, Millwall's Alex Neil, Hull's Sergej Jakirovic, and Middlesbrough's Kim Hellberg. Winners are set for April 19th.

Lampard's Sky Blues need just four points from five games to reach the Premier League for the first time since 1925. Middlesbrough remain in automatic promotion spots under Hellberg after Rob Edwards' January exit. Neil's Millwall sit second with 21 wins, while Jakirovic's Hull secured play-off safety in his debut season. Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth and midfielder Hayden Hackney join Vipotnik in the player shortlist.

The young player race includes 21-year-olds Jordan James, Sydie Peck, and Bobby Clark.
