Inzaghi and Spalletti are the only Italian candidates for the 2023 BEST FIFA Awards

Simone Inzaghi and Luciano Spalletti are among the finalists in the coach category. Among the players, Kvaratskhelia, Osimhen, and Brozovic are nominated. Voting is open until October 6th.

One brought Inter back to the Champions League final after 13 years, while the other led Napoli to their historic third Serie A title.

These achievements have earned Simone Inzaghi and Luciano Spalletti nominations for “The Best FIFA Football Awards 2023” in the coach category.

The two coaches, the only Italians present in all categories, will compete against the favorite, Pep Guardiola, who won the treble with his Manchester City, Xavi, who reclaimed La Liga with Barcelona, and Ange Postecoglu, the current Tottenham manager.

Voting for the award is now open, and the international jury consists of national team captains and coaches, journalists, and fans from around the world registered on Fifa.com, who can cast their votes until October 6th.
