Barnsley appointed Poya Asbaghi way back in November after Markus Schopp was sacked, however it is over three months later that they have begun to move up the table.
The Tykes were glued to the bottom of the Championship and looked destined for relegation, however they now sit in 22nd place - six points from safety and with a game in hand.
The Yorkshire club endured a 13 game spell without a win, however they have now claimed victory in three of their last four matches.
Barnsley have taken three points off QPR and Middlesbrough - both of whom are challenging for promotion - and also beat relegation rivals Hull City.
Asbaghi’s side travel to Pride Park this weekend and will be confident of another win against the struggling Derby County.
