Published 1 month ago
Description
This week we take a look at the nominees for the Ballon d’Or, with plenty of African interest in various categories. Achraf Hakimi and Sadio Mane were nominated for the men’s award, there are two African players in the running for the women’s award, and three for the goalkeeper and young player awards.
Also we talk about Ivory Coast legend Yaya Touré’s first job as a head coach or manager, at Slovan Bratislava of Slovakia, who played PSG in the Uefa Champions League this week, as Toure became the first African coach in the group stage of the Champions League.
And Stuart has some fascinating analysis on how the business of football was the main factor in a high-spending transfer window.
