"It is a great honour and it was an insane season," the German, 54, said. "It was not the best outcome for us, but we are already over it."
He added: "When you win a prize like this you are either a genius or you have the best coaching staff in the world - and I am here with all of my coaching staff, they know how much I appreciate them."
