Is Hansi Flick Robbed? How Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp won the FIFA The Best Men's Coach Award 2020

 

Fifa has finally revealed the winners of FIFA The BEST awards 2020. Jurgen Klopp has won the best men's coach award 2020 beating Hansi flick who was favorite to win the award this year.

According to fifa voting list, Jurgen klopp and Hansi Flick both scored 24 points. And Klopp is annouced winner as he received more votes from national team coaches.

 

 

Jurgen Klopp who won the premier league with Liverpool was surprised when he was declared winner. Fifa is often criticized for its best player award but this time the criticism is about the best men's coach award. Fans are saying that Hansi Flick, coach of Bayern Munich, should have won the award. Everyone thought it would be Hansi flick as he completed quintuple (Champions league, Bundesliga, DFB pokal, Uefa super cup). On the other hand, Jurgen klopp made Liverpool champions of England after 30 years which is obviously a outstanding achievement. He also won the club world cup earlier this season which made him a true contender for this award. 

 

Normally, The best award is given to a player/coach who has won the champions league. During 2019-20 season, Hansi flick not only won the champions league but also won every domestic trophy. On the contrary, liverpool was knocked out early from the tournament.

Now, everyone's asking “Is the premier league more valuable than the champions league?” 

In that case, why the Man City coach Pep Gurdiola didn't win the best coach award in 2018 and 2019. He also broke so many records those season. Here, the talking point is that Hansi flick took charge of Bayern as head coach in November,2019. So this could be one of the reasons why he couldn't win. 

 

However, Fifa has nothing to do with this as they declare winner based on votes from media and national team captains and coaches. Flick won more votes from media than Klopp who received more votes from national team's coaches and captains.
