Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp are the top three nominees for the 2021/22 UEFA Coach of the Year award.
The Italian returned to the club last summer and first won the Spanish Super Cup, before becoming the first manager to win the European Cup/Champions League for a fourth time after guiding Madrid to glory in the 2022 final in Paris.
It wasn’t enough, he secured the ‘Kings’ 35th La Liga title and 5th in the European Super Cup.
The 51-year-old Spanish coach won four Premier League titles in his last five seasons in charge of City, his side could have reached a second consecutive Champions League final, but Real Madrid staged a sensational comeback and did not allow ‘ Citizens’ touch the final.
The German coach had a lot of success last season, after Liverpool won the FA Cup and the League Cup in England and finished as runners-up in the Premier League and Champions League.
