JAKARTA - The world of football is unique. Apart from players or coaches, they are judged for their play and contribution in the field. They are also often rewarded for their physical appearance.

Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo was selected as the sexiest coach in the Italian League in a poll in Italy, next to Cagliari architect Eusebio Di Francesco, and tactician Benevento Filippo Inzaghi.

The poll was created by an Italian dating website called Joyclub, which ranks coaches at the top strata of Italian football.

Pirlo has never coached Juventus to play a competitive match at all, but the 41-year-old's charisma has captivated women in Italy, which won him 23 percent of the votes as Italy's sexiest coach.

Next up is Di Francesco, who received 15 percent of the vote after taking over from Cagliari's squad. Followed by Inzaghi with 14 percent of the vote.

Filippo Inzaghi has not been able to compete with his brother Simone in terms of achievements as a coach, but he has outperformed his brother in terms of physical appearance.

Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso was fourth with 10.17 percent of the votes, then Paulo Fonseca who coached AS Roma with 7.2 percent of the votes.

Inter Milan tactician Antonio Conte is only sixth with 6.36 per cent, and Roberti De Zerbi who coaches Sassuolo is seventh with 5.93 per cent.

Meanwhile AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli is in eighth position.
