On January 12, FIFA announced the winner of the award for the best football coach of the year. This award has been presented to football professionals since 2010. The first winners of the honorary prize were Mourinho, Guardiola, Del Bosque and Heynckes in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
The title of the best football coach of 2014 was awarded to the coach of the German national team Joachim Loew. In 2014, Joachim's wards won the main football trophy of our time (World Cup), becoming four-time world championship winners.
Lev's rivals for the title of the best coach of 2014 were Italian specialist Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, as well as the Argentine mentor of another Spanish club Diego Simeone (Atletico Madrid). The coach of the German national team received the largest number of votes - 36, 23%, which allowed him to overtake Ancelotti (22, 06% of the votes) and Simeone (19, 02% of the votes).
Under the leadership of Joachim Loew, the German national team has always shown quality and interesting football. The mentor took over the first football team in Germany on August 1, 2006 (after the home World Cup for the Germans). Until that time, Lev had been the assistant coach of the Bundestim Jurgen Klinsmann for two years.
The German national team under the leadership of Lev in 2008 won the silver of the European Championship, in 2010 - the bronze of the World Championship, in 2012 - the bronze of the European Championship. The main coaching achievement of the German specialist was the victory at the World Cup in Brazil in 2014. It was this success that influenced to a large extent the awarding of Lev the title of the best football coach of 2014.
