Fiorentina's Cesare Prandelli has won Italy's Golden Bench award, given annually to the country's best club coach.
The award, based on the votes of fellow professionals, was presented to Prandelli for the second year in a row.
Prandelli, 50, first took charge of a Serie A club at Lecce in the 1997/98 season and arrived in Florence in 2005 after spells at Venezia and Parma.
Under his stewardship, La Viola were once again contenders for top honours.
They finished fourth in his first season in charge, but lost their place in the Champions League after being found guilty of attempting to influence match officials in the Serie A match-fixing scandal.
Last season the club started with 15 points deducted for match-fixing, but finished in fifth position in the standings.
