Cristiano Ronaldo picked Roberto Mancini as the best coach of 2021, while the Italy CT chose Antonio Conte.

The FIFA The Best Award took place last night with three Italian players, Gigio Donnarumma, Leonardo Bonucci and Jorginho, included in the Team of The Year.

However, the PSG shot-stopper lost the Best Goalkeeper Of The Year Award to Edouard Mendy, while Thomas Tuchel beat Roberto Mancini to winning the Coach Of The Year.

The best male and female players and coaches of 2021 were chosen by an expert panel as well as the national teams’ captains and coaches who picked three names for each category.

The first place was worth 5 points, the second one 3 and the third one 1.
