Massimiliano Allegri has once again been recognised by FIFA for another extraordinary season at the helm of Juventus. This year marked the Bianconeri's seventh-straight title win and Allegri's fourth in-a-row, whilst he also won the TIM Cup for the fourth year running and took the Bianconeri to the quarter-final stage in the UEFA Champions League.
As a result, Massimiliano Allegri has been included in the Top 11 of the "The Best FIFA Men's Coach", and from now until 10 August he can be voted on, on the FIFA website. After registering, fans can vote for their top three of the best coaches, and the sum of the points, together with the judgment of a panel selected by FIFA within the football community, will determine the top three.
One of these finalists will then be awarded "The Best" at the ceremony in London on 24 September. Here is the full list of nominated candidates:
Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus)Stanislav Cherchesov (Russia)Zlatko Dalic (Croatia)Didier Deschamps (France)Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool)Roberto Martinez (Belgium)Diego Simeone (Atletico Madrid)Gareth Southgate (England)Ernesto Valverde (Barcelona)Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid)
