This European segment, held in collaboration with the Dubai Sports Council, selects certain winners to compete in the global year-end Dubai Globe Soccer Awards in the United Arab Emirates.
Mikel’s Proud Moment

Upon receiving his award, Mikel expressed his profound satisfaction, reflecting on his transition from player to coach. He admitted to feeling even more passionate about football in his coaching role than he did as a player. He extended his gratitude to his players, the coaching staff, and everyone at the club for their unwavering support and inspiration throughout their journey together, which began four years ago. Mikel remains hopeful and enthusiastic about leading the team to the pinnacle of success and adding many more trophies to their collection.
