Chris Coleman and Claudio Ranieri nominated for top FIFA coach award

Chris Coleman and Claudio Ranieri have been included on the 10-man shortlist for the FIFA men's coach-of-the-year award.

Coleman guided Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 over the summer, while Ranieri oversaw Leicester's shock surge to the Premier League title last season.

As well as the Foxes' Italian boss, the other names from the Premier League on the list are Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp and Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino.

Last season Guardiola secured the third straight Bundesliga title, and second league-and-cup double, of his three-year stint with Bayern Munich before moving on to City, the current Premier League leaders.

The Blues are level on points with Liverpool, who Klopp got to the finals of both the Europa League and League Cup in 2015-16.
