European Football Coach of the Year
Award
European Football Coach of the Year was an annual prize in association football awarded to the best European manager or manager of European team in a calendar year, organized by European Union of Sports Press (fr. Union européenne de la presse sportive (UEPS), also known as AIPS Europe) since 2001. Previously it was awarded by the Association of European Journalists (AEJ, 1978–1997) and the Technical Commission of Torneo di Viareggio (1998–2000). The winner received a prize named after a prominent coach from the past. For the 2019–20 season, it was replaced by the newly formed UEFA Men's Coach of the Year Award.
