Kevin De Bruyne, Jorginho and N’Golo Kante have been nominated for the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award.

De Bruyne has been named on the three-man shortlist for the second consecutive year after helping Manchester City win both the Premier League and Carabao Cup last season.

City also reached the Champions League final but lost 1-0 to a Chelsea side that included both Jorginho and Kante.

Jorginho was also part of the Italy team that beat England in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.

Meanwhile, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel and Italy coach Roberto Mancini have been nominated for the Men’s Coach of the Year award.
