Linfield boss David Jeffrey has been named Carling manager of the month for a record 26th time.
The Blues had four wins and a draw in the Premiership to take them to the top of the table on goal difference.
They also beat holders Cliftonville to reach the final of the Paddy Power County Antrim Shield.
"I was abused by a small section of fans earlier in the season but I worked harder than ever and the players have risen to the challenge," said Jeffrey.
"I know some people think the feeling of joy would diminish after winning this award so many times, but I cannot describe just how important this one is to me on a personal level."
The award is run by the Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association.
