BERLIN, July 23 -- Retired Philipp Lahm has been named as Player of the Year following a poll by Germany's leading sports magazine "Kicker" on Sunday.
The 33-year-old defender, who hung his soccer shoes up after the Bundesliga season 2016-2017, crowned his retirement with another title as 242 of 885 sport journalists voted for the former Germany international.
