Votes from head coaches/technical directors and captains of the senior national teams from CAF's member associations saw Mane selected as the continent's best footballer in 2019.
The Senegalese collected the accolade at a ceremony in Egypt on Tuesday and was also named in the FIFPro Africa Best XI for 2019, alongside Salah and Joel Matip.
It was a successful calendar year for the 27-year-old as he ended the 2018-19 season by winning the Champions League and Premier League Golden Boot award. Later in the year, he also helped guide Senegal to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations before returning to claim more honours with Jürgen Klopp's side.
Well deserved! Congrats Mane.
