Saunders is vying for the accolade – which will be announced tomorrow – with Nottingham Forest's Billy Davies and Peterborough chief Darren Ferguson.

Wolves picked up three wins and a draw in March after 13 games without a win, first rescuing a 1-1 result against Watford.

They then ended their winless streak with a 2-0 success at Millwall and came from behind to beat Bristol City 2-1 before seeing off Middlesbrough 3-2.

Forest won four – including a 3-1 victory over Wolves – and drew one.
