The Philips Sports Manager of the Year is an award for the person considered the most outstanding Irish sports manager or coach of a particular year. The award is contested by the twelve winners of the year's Philips Sports Manager of the Month Awards, which are open to Irish sports managers, trainers or coaches, or overseas-born managers of Irish teams. Because the annual ceremony is traditionally held in early December each year, the December winner from the previous year is eligible to compete. Unusually, the award was instigated not by a sporting body or journalists' association, but by the event sponsors themselves, Philips in 1982. Uniquely, there were two winners in 1990 as the achievement of Cork doing the first All-Ireland hurling and football double in exactly 100 years saw respective managers Fr Michael O'Brien and Billy Morgan honoured. Jack Charlton is the most honoured manager since the award's inception, having won it four times during his tenure as Ireland football manager. Declan Kidney is the only person to have won the award for achievements with two different teams at different levels, while Brian Kerr was honoured for success with three different Irish national soccer teams. Joining Charlton, Kidney and Kerr as a multi-award winner is Kilkenny hurling supremo Brian Cody. ==Philips Sports Manager of the Year winners== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philips Sports Manager of the Year」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
