The City manager has today been announced as the winner of the Manager of the Month award for August.

‘s side secured three wins and a draw from their four games last month, taking them to the summit of the fourth tier – and they have since extended their lead with a win over last time out.

It’s that hot start which has resulted in Tisdale, after 11 years and 11 nominations, winning his maiden monthly prize – a quite unbelievable statistic for one of the ‘s premier bosses.

Tisdale spoke to BBC Radio Devon about the : “It’s nice to win anything really,” he said. “It’s been a long time coming.

“I have to say it is not something I’ve coveted before. It’s all about where you finish at the end of the year – I’d rather be manager of the year than manager of the month.

“We’ve had some good performances on the pitch, some good management maybe – dare I say it – and a bit of luck here and there. It all goes into the mix really.”

The League Two leaders will be looking to avoid the traditional Manager of the Month curse when they take on newly-promoted Green at The New Lawn on Saturday.
