Harry Kane is Germany’s player of the year, Vincent Kompany gets coach’s award
Bayern Munich's Harry Kane was named Germany's player of the year for 2026, while former Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany secured the coach's award. Kane scored 61 goals across all competitions, including the German Supercup and a hat trick in the German Cup final. He received the most votes (272) in the annual poll of 659 members of the Association of German Sports Journalists, surpassing teammate Michael Olise.
Kompany garnered nearly half the votes for the coach's award, outpacing Freiburg's Julian Schuster, who won the award last year.
