Flick is among the three finalists that could win the best coach of the year award. The other two are Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa and Liverpool's manager, Jürgen Klopp. National team goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, the Brazilian Alisson, and Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak have been nominated for the world's best keeper award. 

Lewandowski was the top scorer of the last season's Champions League and Bundesliga. In October he also received Europe's footballer of the year award from UEFA. Fans were allowed to vote until Dec. 9 on FIFA's homepage. On top of that, national team coaches, captains of national teams, and one journalist from every country will also get a vote. The final result will be announced on Dec. 17.
