Liverpool's Juergen Klopp was recognized for his side's tilt at an unprecedented quadruple this season as he was named the League Managers Association (LMA) and Premier League Manager of the Year on Tuesday.

Liverpool won the League Cup and FA Cup and will play Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday. They came up just short in the Premier League title race, finishing a point behind champions Manchester City.

"It's a great honor and it was an insane season," said Klopp. "The last matchday when only two games were meaningless and in the rest, we all played for absolutely everything. It was not the best outcome for us, but we are already over it."

The 54-year-old German won the Premier League award after votes from the public were combined with those of an expert panel, while the LMA prize was voted for by the full membership of managers across all the divisions.

"This being voted for by my colleagues is obviously most important prize you can get," Klopp added.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said his players deserved credit for refusing to panic despite being reduced to nine men late on in Saturday's 2-1 win over fierce rivals Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.

A reckless challenge saw Eddie Nketiah receive his second yellow card 78 minutes in, while Marc Guehi was sent off in the 90th minute for another foul. Brighton were then reduced to 10 men in added time when Jan Paul van Hecke was sent off.

"At the moment I'm exhausted. Because this game had everything, it's why we love football," Glasner told Palace TV.

"It wasn't so difficult because we often train nine versus 10, sometimes eight against 10, but not so often... but the players know what they have to do."

Palace moved up to 11th after securing a league double over eighth-placed Brighton, with whom they have shared an intense rivalry since the 1970s.

"It's a massive achievement, 92 years (since we won) both games against Brighton. It's a massive win and we're pretty happy," Glasner said.
