Zinedine Zidane, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte
are among the names on the shortlist for the Best FIFA Men’s Coach
award for 2017.
Real
Madrid won La Liga, the Champions League and the Club World Cup under
Zidane last season, while Mourinho claimed three trophies in his first
term with Manchester United and Conte steered Chelsea to the Premier
League title.
Manchester City boss Pep
Guardiola is also nominated, despite failing to win a trophy last term,
along with Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone and Juventus’ double-winning
specialist Massimiliano Allegri.
Germany head
coach Joachim Low is included after his side’s Confederations Cup
triumph, while Brazil boss Tite is a more surprising name in the running
for the award won by Claudio Ranieri this year.
Monaco
coach Leonardo Jardim earns a place after their Ligue 1 title triumph
and run to the Champions League semi-finals, but Paris Saint-Germain
boss Unai Emery misses out.
The 12-man list was composed by a panel of former stars including Cafu, Diego Maradona, Carles Puyol and Edwin van der Sar.
A
final trio of nominees will now be decided by a combination of a public
vote, which runs between August 21 and September 7, as well as input
from national team captains, coaches and a panel of media
representatives.
