TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has been named men's Player of the Year in Germany after a record-breaking season for the Bundesliga champions.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany was voted trainer of the year, while Germany defender Giulia Gwinn completed a clean sweep for the Munich club by winning the women's Player of the Year award.
"A Bayern double — never before have the men and women's Player of the Year awards gone to the same club. Congratulations to Harry and Giulia, as well as our coach Vincent," Bayern president Herbert Hainer said in a club statement. "When men's and women's football makes history together, then that's Bayern, making a mark. We're proud of this result."
Why was Harry Kane named Germany's footballer of the year?
Kane received 272 votes from members of the Association of German Sports Journalists, comfortably ahead of Bayern teammate Michael Olise on 203.
Stuttgart and Germany striker Deniz Undav finished third with 61 votes.
England captain Kane scored 61 goals in 51 competitive appearances for Bayern last season.
"It was the best season of my career so far," Kane said last week after winning the European Golden Shoe for the second time.
His club form was followed by another strong World Cup run with England, where he scored six goals as the team reached the semifinals. Kane also became England's all-time leading scorer at World Cups, taking his overall tournament tally to 14.
The 33-year-old was also awarded the European Golden Shoe for the second time in his career after finishing as the continent's leading league goalscorer.
Former Bayern striker Luca Toni said Kane also deserved to win the Ballon d'Or, football's leading individual award.
Kompany takes coach of the year, Gwinn wins women's award
Kompany was the clear winner among coaches, receiving 314 votes after guiding Bayern to a league and cup double.
Freiburg coach Julian Schuster, who won the award last year, finished second with 87 votes, while Stuttgart's Sebastian Hoeneß was third with 53.
Schuster praised Kompany's work, saying the Belgian was not only a good coach but also made those around him better.
Gwinn won the women's award outright after sharing first place with goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger last year.
"This is an honor and a validation of my journey," Gwinn said.
The 27-year-old Bayern defender received 106 votes, narrowly beating teammate Klara Bühl on 94.
