Other foreigners to win awards were Zimbabwe goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze from shock League Cup winners Magesi and Miguel Cardoso, the Portuguese coach of champions Sundowns. Egypt Palestine international Abou Ali has moved from record 12-time African champions Al Ahly of Egypt to Ohio-based Columbus Crew in a reported $7.5 million (€6.5 million) deal. The 26-year-old born in Denmark shared with Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich the honour of being the only scorers of hat-tricks at the Club World Cup. "Wessam is a proven scorer. His clinical finishing, energy and charisma will strengthen our squad," said Crew general manager Issa Tall. Nigeria Nurudeen Aweroro has replaced Gbenga Ogunbote as coach of success-starved Nigerian club Shooting Stars in a one-year deal. Based in Ibadan, 130 kilometres (80 miles) north of commercial capital Lagos, Stars finished eighth last season in the 20-club national championship.

Tanzania Romain Folz became the third new coach among the top four Tanzanian clubs when named successor to Algerian Miloud Hamdi at champions Young Africans. Hamdi has moved to fallen Egyptian giants Ismaily, opening the door for the 35-year-old from Bordeaux to take charge of the record 26-time national champions. After assistant coaching positions in Egypt and Ghana, Folz has been head coach of clubs in Ghana (two), Botswana, South Africa (two) and Guinea. str-dl/jc
