WALES manager Chris Coleman is one of 10 head coaches shortlisted by experts from the FIFA Football Committee for The Best FIFA Men’s Coach 2016 award.

Coleman, who today named his squad for the World Cup qualifier against Serbia on November 12, has been recognised after leading Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.

Alongside Coleman the other nominees are Didier Deschamps (France), Pep Guardiola (FC Bayern Munich/Manchester City), Jürgen Klopp (Liverpool), Luis Enrique (FC Barcelona), Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham Hotspur), Claudio Ranieri (Leicester City), Fernando Santos (Portugal), Diego Pablo Simeone (Atlético Madrid) and Zinédine Zidane (Real Madrid).

The winner will be chosen through a combined voting process, in which 50 per cent of the decision will be based on the choices of all captains and head coaches of national teams around the globe.

The other 50 per cent will be split between the result of an online public ballot with football fans and submissions from a selected group of over 200 media representatives from the six continents.
