Paulo Sousa took charge of Swansea City last summer

Swansea City boss Paulo Sousa has been nominated for February's Championship manager of the month award.

The fourth-place Swans won four and drew twice during the month and are the only unbeaten side in 2010.

Sousa is up against Coventry's Chris Coleman, Leicester's Nigel Pearson and Reading boss Brian McDermott.

Swansea keeper Dorus de Vries is up for the player award against strikers Paul Gallagher (Leicester), Simon Church (Reading) and Andy Carroll (Newcastle).

The awards will be announced on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Swansea have been given a full allocation of 1,963 tickets for the south Wales derby with Cardiff on Saturday, 3 April (1720 BST), which are now on sale.
