Accepting the award, he said; “I want to thank the players, the staff, all the people working in the shadows. It’s a pleasure, I always wanted to win, to write my name into the league’s history. But even with all the ambition I have, I didn’t expect to win so quickly.” Franck Haise of Lens was named coach of the season after leading the club to second place and giving them a place in Champions League football for the first time in two decades.
