Spain’s Pep Guardiola, coach of Manchester City, won his third title as a coach in the Champions League in Istanbul on Saturday, surpassing Englishman Bob Paisley and Frenchman Zindedine Zidane, second record holder, Italian Carlos Ancelotti. .
Guardiola won the Champions League under Barcelona in 2009 and 2011. With this victory, he turned the relationship of winning coaches with two different clubs into a sextet, joining Ancelotti himself (two at Milan and two at Real Madrid), the Austrian Ernst Happel (one at Feyenoord and one at Hamburg), the Germans Ottmar Hitzfeld (one at Borussia Dortmund and one at Bayern Munich) and Jupp Heynckes (one at Real Madrid and one at Bayern) and the Portuguese Jose Mourinho (one at Porto and one with Inter Milan).
The City coach was already on the list of champions as a player and coach who is also led by Ancelotti with a total of six. Guardiola won as an active footballer in 1992 with the shirt of Barcelona, which he later guided as a coach.
The others who achieved this success were Miguel Muñoz, Johan Cruyff, Frank Rijkaard, Zinedine Zidane and Giovanni Trapattoni.
