Sir Alex Ferguson was named the League Managers' Association Manager of the Year after guiding Manchester United to a 20th title.
Cardiff City's Malky Mackay was the top Championship manager, while Yeovil Town's Gary Johnson was honoured as League One Manager of the Year. Gillingham's Martin Allen won the League Two manager's award.
"In a way I am glad it is all over now because it has been hard work," said the retiring Ferguson.
It may be added that Sir Alex, who won 38 trophies in a 26-year reign at Old Trafford, will be succeeded by Everton's David Moyes, who takes over on 1 July.
