The AIC Serie A Coach of the Year (Italian: Migliore allenatore AIC) is a yearly award organized by the Italian Footballers' Association (AIC) given to the coach who has been considered to have performed the best over the previous Serie A season. The award is part of the Gran Galà del Calcio (formerly known as the "Oscar del Calcio AIC") awards event.[1] Juventus coaches have won the most awards, with eleven. Only two non-Italians have won the award: Sven-Göran Eriksson of Sweden became the first in 2000 while José Mourinho of Portugal was the first foreign coach to win the award twice. Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte have each won the award a record four times.
