In Korea, coach Jurgen Klinsmann and Son Heung-min participated in voting in the men's category, and coach Colin Bell and Kim Hye-ri participated in voting in the women's category. A total of 3 people are selected in each category, and 5 points are awarded for the 1st place vote, 3 points for the 2nd place vote, and 1 point for the 3rd place vote.
What caught the most attention was the vote for Male Coach of the Year, where Coach Klinsmann and Son Heung-min made different choices.
Coach Klinsmann voted for coach Pep Guardiola, who led Manchester City (England) to a ‘treble’ in the 2022-23 season. Coach Guardiola won the final Male Coach of the Year award.
Coach Klinsmann's second and third place votes went to former Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti and coach Postecoglou.
On the other hand, Son Heung-min judged Coach Postekoglou to be the best coach of the year. And one vote each was cast for coach Guardiola and then Barcelona coach Xavi.
Coach Postekoglou led Celtic to three Scottish crowns (League, League Cup, and FA Cup) in the 2022-23 season. After taking the helm at Tottenham last summer, he created a sensation with his offensive football and led the team to a high-flying start.
In the Male Coach of the Year vote, there were a total of two coaches and captains who gave Coach Postekoglou the first place vote. There was no coach, and the captain, in addition to Son Heung-min, was Matt Ryan of the Australian national team. Coach Postekoglou is from Australia and served as the head coach of the Australian national team from 2013 to 2017.
Coach Postecoglou received the final 4 points in the Male Coach of the Year vote, ranking 5th after Coach Guardiola (28 points), Coach Spalletti (18 points), Simone Inzaghi, and Coach Xavi (11 points). 섯다
