The Premier League released the list of its nominations for the various categories of the Premier League awards for the 2023/2024 season, and some of the league’s best players and coaches have been recognized for their immense contributions to their various teams this season in English top flight.
The three categories released on Thursday include the Premier League Player of the Season, the Premier League Manager of the Season, and the Premier League Young Player of the Season.
