There were some excellent managerial nominations for the final award for 2015 and it was a difficult choice.
Having said that taking a club from the depths of the relegation zone to a healthy position in the Vanarama National League in just one month and with the same playing squad is a testament to high class managerial skills.
Exuding a personal confidence which clearly resonates amongst his players, his appointment has given a tremendous lift to all at Southport FC, after a disastrous start to the season. Therefore, the judging panel were unanimous in their choice and they believe there can be few who would begrudge the December award going to Dino Maamria as The Port end 2015 in mid-table and in the Second Round of the FA Trophy.
