The nominees for February's Championship Manager of the Month award have been revealed as Dougie Freedman, Kenny Jackett, Slavisa Jokanovic and Alex Neil.
After taking the Nottingham Forest job on the first day of the month, Freedman has overseen a severe upturn in form, with Forest collecting 16 out of a possible 18 points to surge back into playoff contention.
Jackett's Wolverhampton Wanderers won four of their six games and also drastically improved their goal difference with a 14-5 differential as they too chase the top six.
Watford won five of their six games under Jokanovic last month and three of them - at Brentford, Bolton Wanderers and Leeds United - were come-from-behind away victories.
Neil who led Norwich to a perfect five wins out of five in February before overseeing a 2-0 victory over arch rivals Ipswich Town in Sunday's East Anglian derby on the first day of March.
The winner will be announced on Friday morning.
