Rafa Benitez has been rewarded with the Barclays Manager of the Month award after his side picked up maximum Barclays Premier League points during March.

The Liverpool manager picks up the managerial award for the fifth time in his fifth season at the club. He joins only seven other managers to have won the award on five or more occasions, and is the only manager to have picked up the honour twice this season, having also won the award in October 2008.

The decision was made by the Barclays Awards Panel, which includes representatives from football's governing bodies, the media and fans.
