Who gets a winners' medal?

You need to have played five Premier League games for the champions to be eligible for a winners' medal. However, the champions will be given 40 commemorative medals in total, so once those players who have qualified for a medal have received theirs, the club can decide which members of the coaching staff, officials and other players also receive a medal.
