Manager Keith Hill with his Manager of the Month award

Manager Keith Hill has been named the League Two Manager of the Month for September.

Dale secured a maximum 12 points from four games during the month, following wins over Bury, Torquay United, Accrington Stanley and Wycombe Wanderers.

Former Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley chairs the Sky Bet Manager of the Month judging panel. He said: “Keith Hill fully deserves this award for his side’s 100 per cent record in September. He is clearly enjoying his return to Spotland with a great start to the new campaign in Sky Bet League Two.”

Sky Bet Head of Football Paul Wiggins said: “They say you should never go back, but Keith Hill’s decision to return to Spotland looks to be benefiting all parties as Rochdale have made excellent progress in the month of September. The four league wins have all been narrow one-goal victories, but Rochdale are showing the resolve needed to challenge all season.”

The Manager of the Month judging panel comprises former Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley; Sky Sports Football League expert Don Goodman; Football League Chief Operating Officer Andy Williamson; League Managers’ Association Director Olaf Dixon and Sky Bet Head of Football Paul Wiggins.
