Ballon d'Or shortlist out as a manager resigns

The Ballon d'Or shortlist is out. Spanish coaches feature heavily across it, continuing a run of Spanish names at the top of the game. Alongside that, one manager has resigned. That is the confirmed picture for now. There is no word yet on who replaces them or what prompted the decision, and the shortlist itself has not been broken down name by name here. More detail should follow from the awards organisers.
