The Enzo Bearzot Award () is an annual recognition for Italian football managers. Established in 2011 and awarded by a jury composed of representatives of major Italian sports newspapers, the prize is sponsored by the Sporting Union of the Christian Associations of Italian Workers and the Italian Football Federation.
History The award was created in honour of Enzo Bearzot, the 1982 FIFA World Cup-winning coach of the Italy national team. He holds the record for the most appearances on the bench of the Italy national team, with 104 appearances from 27 September 1975 to 18 June 1986. He died on 21 December 2010 in Milan at the age of 83, exactly 42 years after Vittorio Pozzo.
The president of the Italian Football Federation presents the Enzo Bearzot Award each year at the hall of honour of the Italian National Olympic Committee.
