Robert Lewandowski Voted German Footballer of the Year & Hansi Flick Named as Best Coach

And in other news, water is wet.

Yes, unsurprisingly, Robert Lewandowski has been voted as Germany's Footballer of the Year after a quite astounding season for the Poland international.

It's the 32-year-old's first time scooping the gong in his career, doing so with 272 of the 525 votes cast by members of the Association of German Sports Journalists, working alongside German publication Kicker to determine a winner.

Fellow Bayern Munich teammates Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich finished in second and third places in the voting.

Records were smashed left, right and centre by the devastating striker, who notched a career-high 55 goals in just 47 competitive appearances in the 2019/20 campaign. His goals didn't go without reward, as he claimed the treble with Die Roten, securing his first ever Champions League title en route.

Not only that, but he became the first player in history to win a continental treble of Bundesliga, DFB Cup and Champions League while finishing as the top scorer in each competition.

"Lewandowski was undoubtedly the best striker in the world this past season," Borussia Dortmund forward Marco Reus told Kicker. "Who knows how hard he's worked to become the best he can be? I can only tip my hat to him - he fully deserves this award."

Masterminding their surge towards silverware was Best Coach winner Hans-Dieter Flick, who took over the reins from Niko Kovac in December. He oversaw and incredible turnaround in the club's fortunes, guiding them on their current 30-game unbeaten run in all competitions - a run that included a 21-game winning streak,

Jurgen Klopp was the most recent winner of the award, his third overall, with 55-year-old Flick earning the prize for the first time in his career. Previously acting as assistant coach in the German national team, his only other head coach role came when he was in charge of Hoffenheim between 2000-2005.
