Paris striker Kadidiatou Diani was named best player of the 1-2022 women's D2023 season on Tuesday, and Olympique Lyonnais coach Sonia Bompastor received the award for the best coach in the championship. Top scorer of the championship with 17 goals and author of 7 assists, "Kadi" Diani, who has already won this award in 2021, injured her collarbone at the end of March in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and will not play again with PSG this season. She resumed racing on Monday, she said.

Bombastor awarded

Last year, it was the other PSG striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto who won this trophy. Seriously injured during Euro 2022, MAK had a white season with PSG. His participation for the World Cup this summer in Australia and New Zealand is also questioned. Asked Saturday about her coming to Oceania, the French striker said she does not "really ask the question": "I continue my reathleticization, it is he (Hervé Renard, the coach) who will make the decision," she said on Bein Sport, adding that she was touching the ball "and felt "much better".

Sonia Bompastor, who arrived in Lyon in April 2021 and the first woman to coach OL Women, won the trophy for the best coach in the championship. At the head of the "Fenottes", they won the D1 last season and have suffered only one defeat and a draw this season and are in the race to win the D1, fighting with PSG. "It's also your trophy": the technician dedicated her prize to Jean-Michel Aulas, the former OL manager, who transformed the club into a real winning machine for women's football, in Europe and France.

Endler best goalkeeper

On Saturday, the women of Olympique Lyonnais, superior to Paris Saint-Germain, got their hands on the Coupe de France. Eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, like OL, the Parisiennes can still save their season by winning the D1. However, they will have to beat OL on May 21 at the Parc des Princes for the "final" of the championship.

In addition, Lyon's Christiane Endler received the trophy for the best goalkeeper in the championship, the fourth of her career. The Chilean has conceded just eight goals in her starts this season. The Stade de Reims midfielder who is moving to OL next season, Melchie Dumornay, 19, has received the revelation of the season award.
