Former Juventus coach Antonio Conte is on FIFA’s 10-man shortlist for the 2014 Coach of the Year award.
After guiding Juventus to their third straight Serie A title, and a record points total, Conte has now taken over as Italy boss from Cesare Prandelli.
The initial 10 person list will be whittled down to just three on December 1, with the winner being announced on January 12, 2015, following a vote by the national team captains and coaches plus selected international media.
The full 10-man list is as follows:
Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid), Antonio Conte (Italy/Juventus), Pep Guardiola (Bayern Munich), Jurgen Klinsmann (USA), Joachim Loew (Germany), Jose Mourinho (Chelsea), Manuel Pellegrini (/Manchester City), Alejandro Sabella (Argentina), Diego Simeone (Atletico Madrid), Louis van Gaal (Netherlands).
