European Football Coach of the Season

European Football Coach of the Season was an annual prize in association football awarded to the best manager of European football club in an autumn-spring season, organized by European Union of Sports Press (fr. Union européenne de la presse sportive (UEPS), also known as AIPS Europe) since the 2006–07 season. The prize was previously awarded by the Association of European Journalists (AEJ, 1977–78 to 1996–97) and UEFA (1997–98 to 2005–06). For the 2019–20 season, it was replaced by the newly formed UEFA Men's Coach of the Year Award.
