Former Juve coach Allegri won the Scudetto last season with the Old Lady, his fifth consecutive league title with the Turin giants.
Allegri has also won the award in three of the last four years.
Gasperini meanwhile delivered Champions League football for La Dea, and also brought the club to the final of the Coppa Italia.
Mihajlovic has won plaudits across the coaching community for his battle with leukaemia whilst continuing to manage the Rossoblu.
The Serbian made his illness public last July and has had stints in and out of hospital.
