Mane beats Salah and Mendy to African player of the year award
July 22 – Senegal’s Sadio Mane has been crowned African Footballer of the Year for the second time, the 10th player to win the award more than once.
Mane was in the Moroccan capital to receive the award after a dash across the Atlantic having converted a penalty for his new club, Bayern Munich, in a 6-2 pre-season friendly win over D.C. United in Washington.
Mane scored the decisive penalty as Senegal beat Egypt in a shootout in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations final to lift the trophy for the first time.
