Leicester
manager Claudio Ranieri has been nominated for FIFA's men's coach-of-the-year
award
|
Chris Coleman and Claudio
Ranieri have been included on the 10-man shortlist for the FIFA men's
coach-of-the-year award.
Press
Association report continues:
Coleman
guided Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 over the summer, while Ranieri oversaw
Leicester's shock surge to the Premier League title last season.
As
well as the Foxes' Italian boss, the other names from the English top-flight on
the list are Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp and
Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino.
Last
season Guardiola secured the third straight Bundesliga title, and second
league-and-cup double, of his three-year stint with Bayern Munich before moving
on to City, the current Premier League leaders.
The
Blues are level on points with Liverpool, who Klopp got to the finals of both
the Europa League and League Cup in 2015-16.
Pochettino's
Spurs pushed Leicester hardest for much of last season's Premier League title
race before finishing third.
Making
up the rest of the shortlist are Fernando Santos, Didier Deschamps, Zinedine
Zidane, Diego Simeone and Luis Enrique.
Santos'
Portugal beat Deschamps' France in the Euro 2016 final, Zidane's Real Madrid
got the better of Simeone's Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final last
season, and Luis Enrique's Barcelona claimed the La Liga and Copa del Rey
double.
The
winner of the award will be chosen via a combined voting process, in which 50
per cent of the decision will be based on the choices of all captains and head
coaches of national teams.
The
other 50 per cent will be split between the result of an online public ballot
with football fans and submissions from a selected group of over 200 media
representatives from the six continents.
A reduced list of three nominees is to be announced on December 2, with the winner to be presented with the award on January 9.
