Liverpool's Alisson Becker and Jurgen Klopp are named 2019 IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper & Club Coach respectively.
Here are the IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics) official statements for them.
Alisson
Since 1987, only one South American, José Luis Chilavert (1995,1997,1998), has won the Award of The World’s Best Goalkeeper of the Year. In 2019, they are two because of the runaway win of Brazilian’s Alisson Ramses Becker at the annual votings of IFFHS Football experts from 90 countriers around the World.
Aged 27, Alisson realized a fantastic year 2019, winning the UEFA Champions League with FC Liverpool and the Copa America with Brazil. He was crowned in both competitions as the Best Goalkeeper, kept many clean sheet records and received also the Golden Glove in the Premier League !
Marc André Ter Stegen confirmed his great form, ranked at the second place before Jan Oblak, always placed in the Top 3 since 3 years. Manuel Neuer, winner of 4 consecutive Awards (2013 to 2016), took place 4 in the ranking, being back from an important injury.
Klopp
After his second place last year, Jürgen Klopp became the World’s Best Club Coach in 2019 with a fantastic total of 369 points (a record) !
90 journalists and experts of all continents took part at the IFFHS election and gave German coach of Liverpool a massive win well ahead of Guardiola, Ten Hag (the revelation of the year) and Pochettino.
Winner of the UEFA Champions League and Super Cup,fantastic second in the Premier League, the team driven by Jürgen Klopp has seduced all football experts in the World.
Klopp’s philosophy ,already seen with Borussia Dortmund, has brought the success to the FC Liverpool, recognized as the reference for attractive, powerful and successfull football.
2019 was the year of Jürgen Klopp, he is the 15th coach to receive this World Award since 1996, the third German after Ottmar Hitzfeld and Jupp Heynckes. José Mourinho holds the record with 4 Awards as the World’s Best Coach !

Balon De Or will be awarded to the Spanish player only though they are good for nothing.The black (African Players)have no right to get this award.No racism on the playground but 'Yes' in the governing(office) body only

it's seems winning the champion leauge alone can give you all individual award
Champions League followed petty much with every country around the world. and It is the league of the champions..... you have to play teams that finishes at the top of table in their own country and EPL u got play teams like Norwich city, Watford and Everton... Sheffield and so on. but champions League is half of the world cup. if you wanna know why. Look example and CR7 and LM 10 every time one of them win champions League automatically he become a favorite of the ballon d'or, fifa man of the year or European player of the year. Champions League is half of world cup
