Spain boss Vicente del Bosque and former Barcelona Coach Pep Guardiola are amongst the contenders for the Ballon d'or Coach award.
The duo are included in a 10 man shortlist announced today. The two Spaniards are accompanied on the list by three Germans, three Italians, a Scotsman and a Portuguese – Real Madrid Coach Jose Mourinho.
