The pair are among 10 names to be considered, with Barcelona boss Luis Enrique the early favourite after leading the Spanish giants to the treble last season.
For Mourinho, the recognition is just reward for a superb last campaign, which saw his Blues win the Premier League title at a canter.
Meanwhile, Wenger's second successive FA Cup triumph has not gone unnoticed.
The battle to land the award will see the feuding pair go head-to-head once more, in a year which has seen the two embroiled in a number of spats both on and off the field.
