England manager Sarina Wiegman was named the coach of the year while Mary Earps won the best goalkeeper for the second successive year at the FIFA Best Awards.

Spain and Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati was named women's player of the year, adding to her Women's Ballon d'Or and UEFA women's player of the year accolades.

Manchester United keeper Earps finished ahead of West Ham's Mackenzie Arnold and Barcelona's Catalina Coll.

It is the fourth time Wiegman has won the best coach of the year award.

She finished ahead of Barcelona Femeni triple winning coach Jonatan Giraldez and Chelsea's Emma Hayes, who won the award in 2022.

Wiegman says she did not expect to win as she had a very good run with England but so have a lot of teams.

Wiegman adds going to the top is easier than staying there.
