Messi might have some personal objections to the term “short”list.

Carli Lloyd (USA/Houston Dash), Aya Miyama (Japan/Okayama Yunogo Belle), and Célia Šašić (Germany/1. FFC Frankfurt) are in the running for the women’s award.
Pep Guardiola (Spain/FC Bayern Munich), Luis Enrique Martínez (Spain/FC Barcelona), Jorge Sampaoli (Argentina/Chilean national team) for the FIFA World Coach of the Year for Men’s Football award.
(Mourinho probably has severe personal objections to this.)
Jill Ellis (USA/USA national team), Mark Sampson (Wales/English national team) and Norio Sasaki (Japan/Japanese national team) are on the shortlist for the FIFA World Coach of the Year for Women’s Football award.

We will have to wait the 11th of Jan 2016 to know who wins the awards at the FIFA Ballon d’Or award ceremony in Zurich.
