What a season it has been. A trophy secured after a 70-year wait for domestic silverware, and it may get even better with a top-five finish in touching distance.
Eddie Howe continues to do an incredible job and this has been his best season yet, making today's announcement all the more deserved.
A lunchtime announcement from the Premier League confirms the boss has been nominated for the 2024/25 manager of the season award. Here are all five nominees and how you can vote for Wor Eddie!
Howe in five-man shortlist
Eddie Howe has been nominated for the 2024/25 manager of the season award alongside Liverpool's Arne Slot, Brentford's Thomas Frank, Wolves' Vítor Pereira and Nuno Espírito Santo of Nottingham Forest.

'Howe's side have already surpassed their points tally from last season as Newcastle remain firmly in the hunt for second spot and UEFA Champions League qualification. Howe has masterminded some notable victories over the likes of Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and, most recently, Chelsea, with Newcastle looking to match their best-ever finishing position in the Premier League of runners-up, achieved in 1995/96 and 1996/97.'
Eddie's best season yet
With 20 wins already and two games still left to play, we've recorded more victories this season than in any other top flight campaign over the last 20 years.
Beat Arsenal or Everton and a Champions League finish will be secured. Beat both and we'll be guaranteed to finish second!
Considering we didn't make a single major signing over the summer, lost two top talents last June, didn't have Sandro Tonali for the first month of the season and have seen star centre-back Sven Botman limited to just four starts, it makes this season's achievements all the more incredible.
