The AIC Serie A Coach of the Year is a yearly award organized by the Italian Footballers' Association (AIC) given to the coach who has been considered to have performed the best over the previous Serie A season. The award is part of the Gran Galà del Calcio awards event. Juventus coaches have won the most awards, with eleven.
