Leicester manager, Claudio Ranieri, has been crowned the premier league manager of the month of March, making it his
fourth Barclays award in his two time spell as a manager in the English topflighht.
Raineri played four EPL games last month where he won three and drew just one, as his side maintain their leadership on the summit of the league.
He beat AFC Bournemouth's Eddie Howe (W3 L1), West Ham’s Slaven Bilic (W2 D1) and Swansea City's Francesco Guidolin (W3 L1) to the award.

5 March Watford 0-1 Leicester
14 March Leicester 1-0 Newcastle
19 March Crystal Palace 0-1 Leicester
It is the fourth time Ranieri has claimed the Barclays manager award, the joint-most for an Italian alongside former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti. Ranieri is the 15th manager to have won the award four times.
Ranieri won the award in November this season and also was awarded it twice during the 2003/04 campaign when with Chelsea.
No Leicester manager has won the award more than once in one season, although Martin O'Neill claimed it three times in a three-year period from September 1997.
Ranieri has the chance to join Joe Kinnear (1993/94 with Wimbledon) and Sir Alex Ferguson (1999/00 with Manchester United) and Ancelotti (2010/11) to have won the award three times in one season. That feat is also possible for Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who was named manager of the month in August and February.
Meanwhile, Tottenham's Harry Kane claimed the player's edition of the award, making it his third time in his career.
Five goals in four matches won the Barclays Player of the Month award for Kane, a tally that has taken him to the top of the race for the Barclays Golden Boot with 22 goals so far.
He beat a shortlist that also included Southampton's Graziano Pelle, Swansea City's Ashley Williams, Leicester duo Wes Morgan and Riyad Mahrez, and West Ham United's Dimitri Payet.
It is the third time Kane has claimed the award, after winning it in January and February last year.
