Haaland, who had a remarkable season at Manchester City, ended second. Guardiola, Manchester City’s coach, won the Best Men’s Coach, and Wiegman, England’s coach, received the Best Women’s Coach.

Ederson from Manchester City and Mary Earps from England earned the Best Men’s Goalkeeper and Best Women’s Goalkeeper awards.
