'I'm so proud' - Matt Bloomfield secures Manager of the Month award for April

Wycombe Wanderers boss Matt Bloomfield has been named the League One Manager of the Month for April.

The 40-year-old, who completed his first full season in charge of the Chairboys following his appointment in February 2023, guided the Adams Park side to a 10th place finish in the league – the sixth-highest in the club’s history.

And during the fourth month of the calendar year, he helped mastermind a seven-game unbeaten run in the league as Wycombe picked up 15 points from a possible 21.

Wanderers also picked up four clean sheets during that time, with five of these fixtures being away from home.

Speaking on his accolade, he said: “I’m so proud to win because it rewards all the hard work that the players and staff put in during probably our busiest month.

“To play seven games – and an EFL Trophy final – and collect four wins and four clean sheets speaks volumes for everyone’s efforts and commitment.

“I think we travelled more than 1,700 miles in April and came up against two teams who were battling for promotion and three who were fighting against relegation, but we gave a really strong account of ourselves in every game and managed to carry on the excellent form.”

Since replacing Gareth Ainsworth a little over one year ago, Bloomfield has taken charge of 73 Wycombe games, winning 30, drawing 18 and losing 25.
