Before a month, we announced that Yaya Toure triumphed in the BBC fans' vote for the best African footballer. However, "Manchester City" midfielder failed to win the official election, where he was surpassed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Ivory Coast national team member had the opportunity to become the first player to win this award five times, but the snipe from Dortmund's "Borussia", who received 143 votes from footballers, coaches, and journalists, beat him by seven. Last season, the forward was behind Toure, but this year the main reason for his victory was incredible form, which has already seen Aubameyang score 27 goals since summer. The statistics of the Gabon national team's leader even overshadowed the Ivory Coast triumph in the Nations Cup tournament, which had to wait for 23 years. In third place in these elections was "Swansea" forward Andre Ayew, and the best coach was chosen to be "Lille" and Ivory Coast strategist Herve Renard.
