Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is one of three remaining contenders for the FIFA men's coach of the year award.
However, the Italian faces some tough competition as he is up against Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane and Portugal boss Fernando Santos.
The trio remain after an initial shortlist of 10 was narrowed down by a voting process split evenly between national coaches, national captains, select members of the media and fans.
The winner will be revealed at a ceremony in Zurich on January 9.
Ranieri made the shortlist after guiding Leicester to the Premier League title last season, the Foxes defying odds of 5,000/1 to be crowned top-flight champions for the first time in his first campaign in charge.
Zidane also made a major impact in his first season as Real Madrid boss as they claimed the Champions League title as the Frenchman became the seventh man to win the competition as both a player and a coach.
However, Zidane has played down his chances of winning the award, saying: "I am getting better day by day and continue to learn. But maybe it is too early for me to be up there among the three nominees."
Santos also made a big impression this year as Portugal won their first major title at Euro 2016, beating hosts France 1-0 in the final.
Wales manager Chris Coleman and Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino were also on the initial shortlist alongside Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Three national coaches are in the running for the FIFA women's coach of the year award - Silvia Neid of Olympic champions Germany, Pia Sundhage of Rio silver medallists Sweden and Jillian Ellis of the United States.
