In an atypical season, the UEFA The Best 2022 awards gala has been postponed until February 27, the day the winners will be announced in Paris. This Thursday, the organization announced the finalist coaches and coaches in the male and female soccer sections. These are the men’s:
1
Carlo Ancelotti
real Madrid
In a normal season, there is no doubt that Carlo Ancelotti would have been the clear winner of the award. Last season it was only improved in the Copa del Rey, as Real Madrid won the Champions League, and on top of that, eliminated Chelsea, PSG and Manchester City in the middle, and LaLiga. Double to which he also added the European Super Cup. His great rival was Scaloni and the World Cup he won.
2
Pep Guardiola
City of Manchester
It seems almost impossible for Pep Guardiola to claim the prize, although it can never be thrown away. The Catalans once again dominated England, lifting the Premier League for the second consecutive year, as well as the Community Shield in the summer.
3
Lionel Scaloni
Argentina national team
The technician who had no expectations on the list a few months ago. He went from being highly criticized when the AFA selected him but last season’s Copa América and now World Cup success has silenced many mouths. Everything points to him being the strong favourite, although Carlo Ancelotti has no shortage of reasons to take him.
The women’s soccer nominees
1
sonia bombastor
Lyon Olympics
His third season in charge of Olympique de Lyon has been capital. The Frenchwoman managed to bring the club back to the top nationally, lifting the Division 1 Féminine, as well as doing so in Europe, beating current champions Barça in the Champions League final. To this he added the Women’s Super Cup.
2
Pia Sundhage
The choice of Brazil
Although he is a Swedish coach, his merits for being nominated lie in his management of the Brazilian team. Specifically for her role and importance, winning the Copa América and being the first woman to do so in all of history.
3
Sarah Wiegman
England team
Like the case of Pia, a German coach who succeeded abroad. In this case England. An expert in winning international competitions, he once again lifted a Eurocup, this time with Pross and can once again prove The Best achieved in 2020 after winning the World Cup with the United States.
