Claudio Ranieri will be acclaimed by leading coaches from his home country on Monday as awards keep coming for the former Leicester manager.
The Italian football federation (FIGC) said Ranieri's feat of guiding Leicester to last season's Premier League title will see him receive a special 'Golden Bench' honour at a coaching summit.
Leicester sacked Ranieri last month as their season threatened to unravel into a battle to beat relegation.
But his achievement in guiding the East Midlands club to unforeseen glory last May has already seen Ranieri land FIFA's coach of the year prize, along with similar recognition at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards.
