Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna has hailed his team's "quality and resilience" after being named Championship manager of the month for December.
Town won four of their seven games last month, including a 2-0 victory away to leaders Coventry City, and were beaten only once.
"This award is credit to everyone involved with the team and also the supporters, because it was a really challenging December with lots of games and lots of travel," McKenna told the club website.
"Although not every game went our way, we really stuck at it and showed lots of quality and resilience. That took a lot of effort from everyone and it's especially pleasing for us to win this award in a month which asked so much of us.
"We know it will take a big, big effort over the next few months and it's now about everyone continuing to work hard, sticking together and seeing where we are at the end of the season."
It is McKenna's sixth Manager of the Month award, and he was also named EFL Championship manager of the season in 2024.
Ipswich are third in the table, just two points behind second-placed Middlesbrough but with a game in hand, and are away to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
