Salah congratulates Mani with two words .. and raises controversy with "the image of his daughter Makkah"
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced that Mane won the Best African Player award for 2019, after crowning the Champions League champion with Liverpool and leading Senegal to the African Cup of Nations final.
The announcement of the prizes came at a ceremony held in the Egyptian city of Hurghada on the Red Sea coast, which Salah or the Algerian Riyadh Mahrez player, Manchester City, who had been nominating with Mani to win, did not attend.
In a story on his account on "Instagram", Salah published a photo of Manny accompanied by a comment: "Mubarak, my brother."
But in another story on the same site, Salah raised the controversy with a picture of his daughter Makkah, with a comment saying: "And the prize for the best union goes to ...", without completing
Al Kef had awarded the Egyptian Federation the prize for the best union in Africa during the past year.
The photo and comment sparked speculation that Salah appeared unhappy with the award of the Egyptian Football Association, after a "bad past" between the player of the "Pharaohs" team and Al-Ittihad.
And more than one crisis arose between Salah and the Egyptian Football Association, the most prominent of which was before and during the team's participation in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where the former Roma player said that he did not feel privacy in the "Pharaohs" camp.
