Lionel Scaloni and Sarina Wiegman have been named the best men’s and women’s coaches of 2022 at The Best FIFA Football Awards.
Scaloni coached Argentina to a remarkable World Cup win, while Wiegman was the driving force behind England’s European Championship triumph on home soil.
Marcin Oleksy, meanwhile, won the Puskas Award, which is for the best goal scored during the year.
Oleksy scored a sensational bicycle kick for Warta Poznan in November to claim the award, becoming the first amputee to do so.
The Pole beat out efforts from Dmitri Payet and Richarlison.
Three amazing goals, but which one will win the FIFA Puskás Award? 🤔#TheBest
