Footballer and coach chosen - Award for Hertha's Reese and Union coach Poese

Hertha-Professional Fabian Reese and Union trainer Ailien Poese can both look forward to a special accolade. With 63.6 percent of the votes, Berliners chose Reese as the "Berliner Professional Footballer of the Season". Poese received the award with 26.2 percent of the votes in the category "Berliner Trainer:in of the Season".

Behind Reese on the podium were Frederik Rönnow (14.9 percent) and Christopher Trimmel (6.1 percent) of 1. FC Union Berlin. "It's a great honor to know that Hertha fans and people in the capital see me in first place here," said Reese in a statement from the Berlin Football Association.

Reese was one of Hertha's top scorers in his debut season for the club. The 26-year-old had extended his contract in February, but due to his performances, attracted interest from other clubs.

Poese wins narrowly

Poese, who led the Union women to promotion to the 2. Bundesliga, is the first prize-winner in this category and beat her male colleagues Robert Schröder of F.C. Hertha 03 (25.8 percent) and Daniel Volbert from BFC Preussen (12.7 percent) to the second and third places. "What we achieved in the last season was only possible together, and that's why the title also goes to my entire staff and the team," said Poese.

Since 2011, the Berlin Football Association has conducted the vote in conjunction with the "Fußball-Woche" magazine and the German Class Lottery Berlin. Over 15,000 people cast their votes this time.
