But everybody knows the only thing that really matters is who snaked who as the results of the votes are revealed once the niceties at the awards ceremony are out of the way – let the back-stabbing begin!
Following the star-studded event at the London Palladium, one vote that stands out is Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s in the Best FIFA Men’s Coach category.
It’s no surprise that players tend to chose their own managers in the vote – Eden Hazard opted for Antonio Conte for instance – but Mkhitaryan clearly didn’t get the memo before Zinedine Zidane received his prize.
Despite Jose Mourinho winning the Community Shield, the EFL Cup and the Europa League in his opening campaign at Old Trafford, Mkhitaryan snubbed the Portuguese.
The Armenian captain instead voted for Zidane (five points), Massimiliano Allegri (three points) and Leonardo Jardim (one point). Even Hazard voted for Mourinho…
Mkhitaryan has struggled to hit the heights of his debut season at United this term and was dropped to the bench for the side’s 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield.
On his omission, Mourinho said: ‘There are four changes in the team to try to give a bit of fresh legs and intensity.
