Votes were cast by the coaches and captains of every FIFA registered national side, as well as one journalist from each nation.

However a certain member of the media's selection stood out as an ambition call.

Duncan Castles, who has previous with his special feelings for Mourinho, was the only member of the media who voted for the Man Utd boss.

Mourinho was however voted as first choice for Best Men's Coach by nine different people, out of a possible 458.
