List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winning managers

This is a list of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winning football managers. Spanish manager José Villalonga Llorente led Real Madrid to success in the inaugural European Cup Final in 1956 and repeated the feat the following season. English clubs and managers dominated the competition in the late 1970s and early 1980s, winning every tournament from 1977 to 1982. Despite this, Italian managers have been the most successful, winning nine of the tournaments since 1956.

The competition became the UEFA Champions League in 1993,[1] with Belgian Raymond Goethals leading French club Marseille to success that year.

Only Bob Paisley has won the tournament on three occasions, leading Liverpool to success in the 1977, 1978 and 1981 European Cup Finals; 15 other managers have won the title on two occasions. Six men have won the tournament both as a player and as a manager, namely Miguel Muñoz, Giovanni Trapattoni, Johan Cruijff, Carlo Ancelotti, Frank Rijkaard and Josep Guardiola.[2][3] Only three managers have won the title with two different clubs: Ernst Happel, with Feyenoord in 1970 and Hamburg in 1983; Ottmar Hitzfeld, with Borussia Dortmund in 1997 and Bayern Munich in 2001 and José Mourinho with Porto in 2004 and Internazionale in 2010.

Only Marcello Lippi has won a FIFA World Cup in 2006 with Italy. Rinus Michels (in 1974), Ernst Happel (in 1978) and Arrigo Sacchi (in 1994) had been runner up. Vicente del Bosque can win with Spain in 2010.

José Villalonga Llorente is the only manager winner of Euro in 1964. Miguel Muñoz was runner up in 1984.
