Deschamps was given the award ahead of former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, Diego Simeone of Atletico Madrid, Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool and Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
The other top prize was the best club of the year and Spanish side Atletico Madrid was recognized as the winners.
Ronaldo moved to Juventus from Real Madrid in 2018 for a fee of 100 million euros. He has had a tremendous start to his Serie A career after becoming the top scorer in the league with 14 goals.
