Gareth Southgate has been named among the contenders for FIFA's 2018 Men's Coach of the Year.

The England manager guided the Three Lions' in a surprise run to the World Cup semi-finals.

Both finalists, France's Didier Deschamps, and Croatia's Zlatko Dalic are represented in the shortlist, the former having become just the third man to win football's greatest prize as both a player and manager.

Stanislav Cherchesov of Russia has also been recognised for his side's achievements in their home tournament, as has Roberto Martinez, who led Belgium to the semi-finals and subsequently victory in the third-place play-off.

Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Zinedine Zidane, Diego Simeone, Massimiliano Allegri and Ernestvo Valverde make up the 11-man list.

Guardiola led Manchester City to the Premier League title at his second attempt, amassing a record-breaking 100 points and finishing the season an incredible 19 points ahead of nearest rivals Manchester United.

Klopp led Liverpool to the Champions League final, in which they were ultimately unsuccessful as they slumped 3-1 to Zidane's Real Madrid.

Zizou departed the Bernabeu this summer having won three successive European titles.

Meanwhile, Valverde helped Barcelona to La Liga and Allegri secured Juventus' seventh Scudetto in a row.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid won the Europa League, beating Marseille in the final.

Voting closes on August 10, with the ceremony taking place in London on September 24.

Zidane was crowned with the accolade last year with a convincing 46.22% of the vote, with Claudio Ranieri preceding him in 2016.

Of the current contenders, only Guardiola has won it before, in 2011 with Barcelona.
