The Swedish sensation was voted by his fellow professionals for his performances in 2008, as he scooped a hat-trick of awards at the yearly ceremony.

Ibra was named best player, best foreign player and claimed the Goal of the Year award for his stunner against Bologna last year.

Juventus and Italy guardian Gianluigi Buffon was honored best goalkeeper, whereas teammate Alessandro Del Piero was named best Italian player after he finished top scorer last season.

The Coach of the Year gong went to Fiorentina's Cesare Prandelli, and Napoli's Marek Hamsik was voted Best Young Player.

Dedication

Ibrahimovic was jubilant with his personal achievement as he dedicated the feat to his managers over the last year.

"I want to thank all my fellow players who voted for me," said the 27-year-old.

"I also want to dedicate this to my Coaches Jose Mourinho and Roberto Mancini, who I worked with over the course of the last year.

"I am very happy after this evening and now I just want to focus on continuing to win with Inter."
