Chelsea midfielders Jorginho and N'Golo Kante and Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne make up Uefa's three-man shortlist for men's player of the year.

The men's coach of the year nominees are Manchester City's Pep Guardiola, Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel and Italy boss Roberto Mancini.

The three candidates for the women's player of the year are Barcelona's Champions League-winning trio Jenni Hermoso, Lieke Martens and Alexia Putellas.

It is the first time in the 11-year history of the award all the men's player nominees have been midfielders.

Jorginho and Kante won the Champions League with Tuchel's Chelsea, beating De Bruyne and Guardiola's Manchester City in the final.
