Zinedine Zidane has won the Best FIFA football coach award for 2017 ahead of Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri.
France legend Zidane helped Real Madrid win the Champions League and a first La Liga title for five years last season, becoming the first manager to lead a club to consecutive European titles in the process.
Conte, 48, led Chelsea to an impressive Premier League triumph in his first season in England and also reached the FA Cup final, where they ultimately lost to Arsenal.
Juventus boss Allegri, who won the league title and Coppa Italia during the 2016-17 campaign, was also nominated.
After receiving his award, Zidane said: ‘Thank you very much, this is a really fantastic prize.
‘I’d like to thank all the players who helped me to win this award. This is very special, thanks very much.’
The award for the best women’s coach went to Sarina Wiegman after she led Holland to the 2017 European championships.
She said: ‘Thank you for this award, it’s a great recognition but without the team we wouldn’t have achieved anything. Thanks to my parents and my family, who are also so supportive.’
