Chelsea and Italy midfielder Jorginho has been named UEFA men's Player of the Year 2020-21.

Jorginho beat team-mate N'Golo Kante and Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne to the top award.

Thomas Tuchel took the men's coach of the year award after guiding Chelsea to the Champions League.

Barcelona captain Alexia Putellas claimed the women's Player of the Year award.

Jorginho played 56 times for club and country last season and scored nine goals, winning the Champions League with Chelsea and the European Championship with Italy.

He started the new season by claiming a third UEFA trophy of the year when Tuchel's side lifted the Super Cup in Belfast.
