Carlo Ancelotti in the running to be named UEFA Coach of the Year Award 2021/22

Carlo Ancelotti is among three candidates in the running for the UEFA Coach of the Year Award 2021/22. The Real Madrid coach is in contention with Klopp and Guardiola for the trophy, judged by a panel made up of the clubs that participated in the group stage of the Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League 2021/22 and a group of journalists chosen by European Sports Media (ESM).

UEFA points out that Ancelotti won "LaLiga before going on to become the first coach to win the European Cup for a fourth time, having steered Madrid to glory in the 2022 final in Paris". The winning coach will be revealed during the 2022/23 Champions League group stage draw that will take place in Istanbul on Thursday 25 August.
