Massimiliano Allegri, Claudio Ranieri and Maurizio Sarri are reportedly being considered for FIFA World Coach of the Year, but Antonio Conte is not.
According to La Reppublica, Conte’s exploits in taking an unfancied Italy to a penalty shootout away from the Euro 2016 semi-finals is not enough for the Chelsea boss to make the shortlist.
However, Allegri and Ranieri are said to have been recognised for their title successes last season, the latter particularly noteworthy as he guided Leicester City to Premier League glory.
