Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has been awarded the Bearzot Prize by the FIGC.
Enzo Bearzot guided Italy to the World Cup in 1982, and when he died in 2010 an award for Coaches was created in his honour.
The prize goes to an Italian tactician who has achieved good results, and is voted on by representatives of a number of Italian sports newspapers.
Previous winners include Carlo Ancelotti and Massimiliano Allegri, and this year the award has gone to the Foxes boss.
