Sadio Mane recently moved to Germany after making a move to Bayern this summer.
Bayern Munich forward Sadio Mané has been named Player of the Year at the 2022 CAF Awards in Morocco on Thursday night.
Mané won the men’s African Play of the Year awards back in 2019, the last time they gave out the award. This time, the Senegal international beat former teammate Mohammed Salah and Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to the accolade.

This is Mané’s second straight award, with Salah having captured the award back in 2017 and 2018.
Mané and Salah still have work to do to catch up to Yaya Touré and Samuel Eto’o, who share the record as four-time winners.
Meanwhile, Asisat Oshoala has won Player of the Year for a record fifth time after a tremendous season with FC Barcelona Femení.
