Cheltenham town manager Steve Cotterill was awarded the Sky Bet League Two Manager of the Month for October after collecting 10 points from his four outings in the Robins dugout last month.
Its the third time the 61 year old has won the League Two Manager of the Month award having previously won it twice with Notts County back in 2010.
Having returned to the club at the end of September, he had an instant impact after 23 years away from the club. When stepping back into the role he found Cheltenham at the floor of Englands top four flights of football.
Previous manager, Michael Flynn had lost his position after a 3-0 loss to Oldham. A single game with no manager at the helm left a damaging 7-1 loss to Grimsby which was the turning point in the season so far.
Three wins and a draw in October is quite the turnaround and the Robins have risen out of the drop zone even with last weekends 2-1 defeat to Notts County.
Congratulations, gaffer ❤️

The Robins manager has an extended history at the club after playing for them in 1986 before his first stint at the helm lasted five years between 1997-2002.
His five years in charge brought great success for the club as he promoted them three times to gain them access to the third division of English football with a run to the fifth round of the FA Cup another big moment for his side.
He will be hoping to repeat his trick and promote the Robins back into League one.
Cotterill’s men’s next three fixtures include two trips to Tranmere Rovers and Colchester, and a home clash with Bristol Rovers.
All three currently sit on top of each other in the table in 16th, 17th and 18th. The Robins will be eyeing these as crunch matches.
All winnable on their day and will have confidence as form between the four sides is not to dissimilar.
Cheltenham will travel to Tranmere Rovers tomorrow in hopes to return to the winners circle at 15:00.
