Midfielder Scott McTominay has capped off a remarkable debut season with Napoli by being crowned the Serie A Footballer of the Year. The Scottish international received the highly coveted award at the Gran Gala del Calcio ceremony in Milan on Monday, December 1, 2025, an honor voted for by the players and managers themselves.
McTominay’s victory is historic, as he is the first-ever Scottish player to win the prestigious Italian league award. His selection was based on his sensational 2024/25 campaign, during which he was the key figure leading Napoli to a dramatic Scudetto triumph. In total, the midfielder registered an outstanding 12 goals and six assists in Serie A play.
The recognition comes after the 28-year-old’s high-profile move from Manchester United in 2024, a transfer that proved hugely successful for both the player and his new club. The dynamic midfielder not only provided crucial goals, including the decisive strike on the final day, but also brought invaluable leadership and energy to Antonio Conte’s title-winning squad.
The Scott McTominay Serie A Player of the Year trophy follows the league’s decision to name him the Most Valuable Player back in May. The twin accolades affirm his transformation into one of Europe’s top midfielders, placing him on a legendary list of past winners that includes Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká.
