Stuttgart duo land German awards

Team effort
Veh, whose side finished two points clear of FC Schalke 04, said: "Titles are always special for a coach, an acknowledgement of a job well done. However, this award is not mine alone. It also belongs to my assistant coaches who have helped me a great deal in my daily work and of course to my players as well." Gomez was also an instrumental figure in last season's triumph, scoring 14 goals in 25 appearances. "This is a very big honour for me," said the 22-year-old. "I want to thank everyone who has helped me achieve this. I will continue to work hard and will try everything to repeat my performances." Stuttgart will compete in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
