Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has been nominated for the League One Manager of the Year award as his team aims for a third consecutive promotion. Parkinson, 57, emphasizes that his focus remains on the team's performances rather than individual accolades. The award winner will be announced on April 27, with Wrexham currently leading third-placed Wycombe Wanderers by a point.
Parkinson, eyeing his sixth career promotion as a manager, acknowledges the nomination but stresses the importance of finishing the season strong. With four games left, Wrexham is set to face Bristol Rovers as they strive to secure their position. Parkinson remains committed to maintaining their performance standards and not being distracted by external recognition, despite the competition from managers like Chris Davies, Nathan Jones, and Richie Wellens.
As the season nears its conclusion, Parkinson recognizes the significance of focusing on their own games while being aware of their rivals' fixtures. With promotion still uncertain, Parkinson's priority is ensuring that Wrexham gives their all in each upcoming match, starting with the clash against relegation-threatened Bristol Rovers at Stok Cae Ras.
