UEFA reveals men's and women's coaches and player of the year.

Following the conclusion of the 2023/24 men's Champions League group stage draw, UEFA handed out its annual individual prize to celebrate achievements from the 2022/23 season.

Prizes for women's and men's coach of the year were handed out on stage in Monaco, as were the trophies for women's and men's player of the year.

UEFA Men’s Coach of the Year

Although not able to collect his trophy in person due to recovering from recent back surgery, Pep Guardiola was recognised for his role in leading Manchester City to Champions League glory as part of a 2022/23 treble alongside Premier League and FA Cup honours.

UEFA Women’s Coach of the Year

England boss Sarina Wiegman was named women’s coach of the year for the second time running, having guided the Lionesses to the 2023 World Cup final amid multiple setbacks last month. She had also won the inaugural Women’s Finalissima back in April.

UEFA Women’s Player of the Year

Aitana Bonmati picked up the Golden Ball at the World Cup, inspiring Spain to their first ever international trophy. The Barcelona midfielder had finished the 2022/23 club season with a second career Champions League win, as well as Liga F glory.

UEFA Men’s Player of the Year

Perhaps unsurprisingly after his 52-goal season, Erling Haaland was awarded the men’s prize. The Norwegian netted more than a goal per game in the Premier League to break the division’s single-season scoring record and plundered a further 12 in 11 Champions League games.
