Fifa and France Football have announced that Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone and Germany boss Joachim Low will contest the 2014 World Coach of the Year award.

Ancelotti guided Madrid to their 10th European Cup success in his first season at the Santiago Bernabeu, while also steering them to Copa del Rey glory.

Simeone was a key factor in Atletico's first La Liga win since 1996 and also guided them to the final of the Champions League, where they were beaten by Real Madrid after extra time.
