Against the backdrop of a financial situation that threw the very existence of Northampton Town into doubt, Wilder’s team won all four of their League Two fixtures during the month.
Although not taken into account, the Cobblers also defeated Coventry City in the FA Cup.
George Burley, who chairs the Sky Bet Manager of the Month judging panel, said: “Chris has done a terrific job with Northampton Town, while also having to deal with a lot of difficult problems off the field.”
There is no doubt that Wilder will want to share the credit with all of his squad, backroom staff and the non-playing staff who have pulled together so well during the last few months but his leadership has clearly played a huge part.
