Spain also enjoyed success in the coaching and goalkeeping categories, with national team manager Luis de la Fuente winning the Men's Johan Cruyff Trophy and Barcelona women's coach Pere Romeu claiming the women's award.

Athletic Club goalkeeper Unai Simon received the Men's Yashin Trophy, while Barcelona's Cata Coll won the women's equivalent.
