Maxime Chanot has been named NYCFC’s Defensive Player of the Year for 2019.
The Luxembourg international recorded 2,790 minutes this season after starting and appearing in 31 regular season matches in 2019.
His performances at the heart of the City defense led the team to first place in the Eastern Conference and secured CONCACAF Champions League qualification for the first time in Club history.
Chanot originally signed with NYCFC in 2016 after spending three years at KV Kortrijk and has gone on to become one of the league's best central defenders, thanks to his long-standing partnership with Alex Callens.
