Wales boss Chris Coleman is named among a 10-man shortlist for Best FIFA Men's Coach 2016 award.

Wales manager Chris Coleman has been named among 10 candidates for the Best FIFA Men's Coach 2016 award.

A handful of managers on the shortlist coach in the Premier League, with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp in contention for the gong after leading the Reds to two cup finals - the League Cup and Europa League - last season.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has also been included, while Claudio Ranieri is a contender after winning the league title with Leicester City.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique and Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone are also among the candidates.

Captains and managers of national teams, as well as football fans and the press, will vote via an online ballot.
