Sarina Wiegman named UEFA Women's Coach of the Year after Euro 2022 triumph

The Lionesses won the Euro 2020 trophy in July, and Sarina was named the Women's Coach of the Year by the U.K.'s governing body.

England won all four of their games in the home tournament in July, including a win over Norway in the group stages, a win over Sweden in the semi-finals, and a victory over Germany in the final.

That win marked England Women's first ever major silverware, and continued her own record of success in the competition, having lifted the trophy with her home nation the Netherlands in 2017:

She has not been beaten as England manager since she took over a year ago. Everyone involved in the England team, the FA, the staff and the players received the award. Since I joined the team in September things have gone well and we have performed at our highest level.

Thanks to our fans, we have been able to support ourselves so much. We hope to qualify for the World Cup next year and improve our game in order to enjoy ourselves.

The men's coach and player of the year for Real Madrid were named.

After Real Madrid's victory in the final in Paris in May, Carlo Ancelotti became the first man to win the trophy five times.

"I said 'what a night' a lot of times last season, the last-16, the quarter-Final, the semi-Final," he said. First of all, I want to say thank you to a lot of people, my players, my club, my staff and our support for our amazing nights at the Real Madrid stadium.

My president gave me the chance to return to Madrid. There is a magic formula. I have a passion for this sport and the players I have to manage. There was a great connection between the veterans and the young players in the dressing room last season.

There was a great chemistry between our supporters and we were able to manage an unbelievable achievement.

Benzema finished as the top scorer in the competition with 15 goals, including a sensational hat-trick to bring them back from two goals down and complete a 3-2 aggregate win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Ballon D'Or holder Alexia Putellas was named the women's player of the year, ahead of England's Beth Mead, who scored 12 goals in 14 league games for Barcelona Femeni.
