Sadio Mane has been named the 2019 African Player of the Year after winning the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) Champions League with his club Liverpool and leading Senegal to the Africa Cup of Nations final.



Sadio Mane won the award for the first time on Tuesday, after finishing runner-up to his Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah of Egypt in 2017 and 2018.




The third nominee, Riyad Mahrez of Algeria and Manchester City, won the award in 2016.

Sadio Mane is only the second Senegalese to win the award after El Hadji Diouf, who was the winner in 2001 and 2002.
