Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho nominated for FIFA's 2015 World Coach of the Year

By , Staff Reporter
Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho are nominated for FIFA's 2015 World Coach of the Year award.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho have been named in a 10-man shortlist for FIFA's 2015 World Coach of the Year.

The duo, who have a contentious relationship, are contenders for the gong alongside Barcelona boss Luis Enrique and Bayern Munich's Pep Guardiola.

Mourinho's inclusion comes after he guided Chelsea to the Premier League title last season, while Wenger oversaw his team successfully defend their FA Cup trophy.

The award was handed to Mourinho in 2010 after winning back-to-back Serie A titles with Inter Milan, as well as the Coppa Italia and Champions League, while Wenger has never taken home the gong.

Enrique is the favourite to win the prize after he helped Barcelona claim La Liga glory, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey last season.

FIFA's World Coach of the Year nominees:

Massimiliano Allegri (Italy/Juventus)
Carlo Ancelotti (Italy/Real Madrid)
Laurent Blanc (France/Paris Saint-Germain)
Unai Emery (Spain/Sevilla FC)
Pep Guardiola (Spain/FC Bayern Munich)
Luis Enrique Martinez (Spain/FC Barcelona)
Jose Mourinho (Portugal/Chelsea)
Jorge Sampaoli (Argentina/Chilean national team)
Diego Simeone (Argentina/Atletico Madrid)
Arsene Wenger (France/Arsenal)
