Nominees for The Best FIFA Men’s Coach Award
Here are the official nominees for The Best FIFA Men’s Coach Award 2022.
Carlo Ancelotti
Ancelotti wrote another chapter in his extraordinary career by leading Real Madrid to a La Liga and UEFA Champions League double in 2021/22. The Italian masterfully navigated Real’s journey to a 14th European triumph.
Facing a devilishly difficult round of 16 draws, Los Blancos dispatched Paris St Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City en route to the final, where they beat Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in Paris. Ancelotti’s side also won the Spanish Super Cup last season, while the 2022 UEFA Super Cup was clinched with victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Ancelotti is the most successful manager in Champions League/European Cup history. He is the only manager to have won the competition four times, having guided AC Milan to European glory in 2002/03 and 2006/07 and Real Madrid to the trophy in 2013/14 and 2021/22.
Key achievements: Won the Spanish Primera División 2021-22 ● Won the Spanish Super Cup 2021-22 ● Won the UEFA Champions League 2021-22
Didier Deschamps
Deschamps came within a penalty shootout of becoming the first manager to retain the FIFA World Cup™ since Vittorio Pozzo in 1934 and 1938 with Italy. While France were knocked out in an unforgettable Qatar final, the resilience, determination and fierce will to win that Deschamps has instilled in his team was exemplified in the Lusail Stadium masterpiece.
Les Bleus mounted an impressive comeback from 2-0 down to take an astonishing contest into extra time, where they drew level again after falling behind. In the five major tournaments that Deschamps has coached France, they have reached the final three times.
Deschamps is one of only three men, along with Brazil’s Mário Zagallo and Germany’s Franz Beckenbauer, to have won the World Cup as a player and coach.
Key achievements: Led France to a second consecutive FIFA World Cup final ● Became the fourth coach to lead a nation to two consecutive FIFA World Cup finals
Pep Guardiola
Guardiola guided Manchester City to a fourth Premier League title in five seasons in 2021/22, his team triumphing under dramatic circumstances. Needing a final-day win over Aston Villa to fend off a challenge from Liverpool, City rallied from a two-goal deficit by scoring three times in the last 15 minutes in a delirious Etihad Stadium.
Guardiola’s formidable team also came agonizingly close to reaching a second successive Champions League final, only for a late Real Madrid team to snatch victory.
In his 13 full seasons as manager of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Guardiola has won a staggering 32 trophies.
Key achievements: Won the 2021-22 English Premier League ● Won two consecutive English Premier League Manager of the Month awards in the 2021-22 season
Walid Regragui
Having been appointed less than three months before the World Cup, Regragrui masterminded Morocco’s historic run to the Qatar 2022™ semi-finals.
The Atlas Lions became the first African nation to reach the quarter-finals of the competition, and they did it in a certain style, with notable successes over international heavyweights Belgium, Spain and Portugal. Regragui’s inspiring management has been credited with creating a powerful sense of unity in a Morocco team whose spirit and passion have won fans around the world.
The King of Morocco decorated Regragui with the Order of the Throne Wissam (Commander) Award 2nd Class in recognition of his heroism at the World Cup.
Key achievements: Led Morocco to fourth place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar ● Became the first coach to lead an African nation to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup ● Won the CAF Champions League 2021-22
Lionel Scaloni
By leading Argentina to the promised land at Qatar 2022, Scaloni secured legendary status on his home soil. Scaloni’s calm and authoritative leadership helped his team bounce back quickly from a shock first-game loss to Saudi Arabia.
La Albiceleste grew in stature and confidence as the tournament progressed, culminating in victory in perhaps the best World Cup final of all. Superstar Lionel Messi highlighted Scaloni’s meticulous tactical work as a key factor behind Argentina’s success, stating: “He leaves nothing to chance. It shows you every detail and then it happens.”
Scaloni has tasted defeat just once in his last 43 games as Argentina manager.
Key achievements: Won the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup ● Led Argentina to a 36-game unbeaten run, a national record
