Sagnol hails Michael Olise as world's best player

Willy Sagnol, the former French Bayern defender and Georgia coach, declared to German daily Bild that Michael Olise is currently the world's best player. The Bayern Munich winger is delivering a remarkable 2026 World Cup, already accumulating five assists, including two in France's 3-0 victory against Sweden. Sagnol stresses that the French international prioritizes the collective game, recalling the altruism of Zinedine Zidane. The Georgian coach believes that a failure to award the Ballon d'Or to Olise would be a major anomaly.
