Alexia Putellas of Barcelona was named the women’s player of the year.
Lionel Scaloni, who led Argentina to their third World Cup title, was chosen as the men’s coach of the year at the awards ceremony held in Paris.
Scaloni won the award over Pep Guardiola, who led Manchester City to their sixth Premier League title, and Carlo Ancelotti, who guided Real Madrid to their Champions League win.
The women’s coach of the year award went to England manager Sarina Wiegman, who led the Lionesses to their first major trophy, the European Championship, on home soil last year.
