Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri named to 2017 Best FIFA Men’s Coach award shortlist

Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri is among 12 managers up for this year’s Best FIFA Men’s Coach award. FIFA announced the candidates for the award Thursday.

A combination of votes from national team captains and coaches, media and the public will determine the winner.

Allegri guided Juventus to its third consecutive domestic double by winning Serie A and the Coppa Italia. The Old Lady also reached the Champions League final for the second time in three years only to be defeated by former Juventus star Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid.

Along with Allegri and Zidane, Bayern Munich’s Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea’s Antonio Conte and AS Monaco’s Leonardo Jardim are nominees who won their respective league titles last season.
