Luis Enrique vies with Allegri for Coach of the Year
The Spaniard is the favourite to win the award in
2015 after leading Barcelona to the treble,
although he faces strong competition from his
Juventus counterpart
Last season's Champions League final
opponents Luis Enrique and Massimiliano Allegri
have been named on the 10-man shortlist for the
2015 Fifa World Coach of the Year award.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique guided Barcelona to
Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey
glory in his first season in charge at Camp Nou,
and appears to be the favourite to claim the
individual award following his side's remarkable
treble.
Allegri could be the Spaniard's closest rival after
winning the Serie A and Coppa Italia double with
Juventus, while also making the Champions
League final in what was his first campaign at the
helm of the Bianconeri .
The duo face competition from Paris Saint-
Germain's Laurent Blanc after he guided the Parc
des Princes side to four domestic trophies, while
Chile trainer Jorge Sampaoli is a candidate
courtesy of his team's Copa America win - the
first in the nation's history.
Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola and Chelsea
counterpart Jose Mourinho have made the list
after winning the Bundesliga and the Premier
League respectively.
Sevilla's Unai Emery has been rewarded with a
place on the short list as well following his side's
victorious Europa League campaign, in which the
Andalucians successfully defended their crown.
Former Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, Atletico
Madrid's Diego Simeone and Arsenal manager
Arsene Wenger complete the shortlist.
