Franck Haise will have a chance to defend his crown after he was renominated for the Ligue 1 Manager of the Season. It'll be a hard award to win this year after his RC Lens side have struggled to reach the heights of the previous season. 

Similarly, Luke Elsner faces a tough despite earning the nomination, the Le Havre AC manager has done a fantastic job with the meagre resources at the club, but the team remain in a relegation battle, while other candidates have proved more successful. 

Luis Enrique has won the league and has reached the final of the Coupe de France and the semi-final of the Champions League, while Paulo Fonesca guided Lille OSC to their first-ever European quarter-final. 

It is hard to look past the achievements of Eric Roy who has made history with Stade Brestois, turning the relegation favourites into a team that has already confirmed their place in Europe for next season and remain in the hunt for a Champions League place.
