After a spectacular season with Napoli capped by a Scudetto victory on Friday evening, Scotland's Scott McTominay has been named Serie A MVP for the 2024/25 campaign.
In the Italian top-flight's end-of-season awards, Inter's Alessandro Bastoni was named defender of the year, as Mile Svilar scooped the goalkeeping prize.
Top scorer Mateo Retegui of Atalanta was dubbed the best striker in the division, with Tijjani Reijnders winning the midfielder of the year award.

Overall, though, McTominay was adjudged to have been the finest player in Serie A throughout the 2024/25 campaign.
He ended the season with a goal tally of 12 across 34 league appearances. Perhaps his most impressive strike came at the most pivotal moment.
As Napoli searched for a breakthrough on title-deciding night, the 28-year-old pulled out a scissor-kick to connect with Matteo Politano's cross in acrobatic fashion and put his side in front.
The goal got Antonio Conte's men going in a match they eventually won 2-0.
The victory secured only their fourth Scudetto, and ended for McTominay, a first year in Italy that couldn't have gone any better.
