Harry Kane named footballer of the year in Germany
Harry Kane has added another honor after a remarkable season for Bayern Munich and a strong World Cup with England. Bayern also took the top prize in coaching, and the club's Giulia Gwinn won women's Player of the Year.
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has been named Germany's Player of the Year for a record-breaking season. Coach Vincent Kompany was awarded coach of the year, and defender Giulia Gwinn secured women's Player of the Year honors for Bayern. Kane, who scored 61 goals in 51 appearances for the club, received the most votes from the Association of German Sports Journalists.
This marks the first time men's and women's Player of the Year awards have gone to the same club. Gwinn won the women's award after sharing first place with Ann-Katrin Berger the previous year. Kane's club and World Cup performances earned him the European Golden Shoe for the second time, and he became England's all-time leading scorer at World Cups with 14 goals.
