The final winner will be decided by votes from national captains and coaches as well as online voting from fans, with the prize to be awarded along with the Ballon d'Or in January.

Ranieri is recognised for Leicester City's stunning Premier League triumph last season, pulling off one of the greatest upsets that football has ever seen.

Santos led Portugal to European Championship glory in France this summer, while Zidane's Real Madrid team secured the Champions League trophy.

Luis Enrique, Diego Simeone, Chris Coleman, Jurgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino, Didier Deschamps and Pep Guardiola had also been on the shortlist before it was narrowed down to the final three nominees.
