Wenger is also in the top 3, Lucescu is in sixth place
Head coach Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti set another achievement. Second leg of the semi-final Champions League against Bavaria (2:1) became his 203rd in the main European Cup. Thus, the Italian took clear first place among coaches by number of matches in the League/Champions Cupthat is, in the entire history of the European Cup.
The 64-year-old specialist surpassed his legendary colleague Alex Ferguson (202 matches) in this honorable list. Arsene Wenger remains third (190).
Over time, Josep Guardiola may compete for the top 3; he currently has 171 matches in the Champions League. Jose Mourinho (151) also retains theoretical chances of this. On the sixth line of the status ranking is ex-mentor of Shakhtar and Dynamo Mircea Lucescu (115 matches). The top 10 also includes Diego Simeone, Jurgen Klopp, Massimiliano Allegri and Ottmar Zitfeld.
Let us remember that earlier this year Ancelotti became the first coach to play 200 matches directly in the Champions League. Ferguson has 190 fights left in this tournament, which was founded in 1992 and replaced the KEC.
Real Madrid, under the leadership of Carlo, reached the final, where they will face Borussia Dortmund. The match will take place on June 1 in London. Ancelotti has a chance to win the Champions League for the third time with Madrid and the fifth in his coaching career.
