Pep Guardiola, head coach of English Premier League (EPL) club Manchester City, may be the sixth specialist in history to win the Champions League with two different teams.
On May 17, the “citizens” defeated Real Madrid 4-0 and advanced to the Champions League final, where they will play with Italian Inter. The decisive match of the tournament will be played on 10 June in Istanbul.
To date, only five coaches have achieved such success in their coaching careers. This is Carlo Ancelotti, who won the tournament with Milan and Real Madrid, Jupp Heynckes with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, Jose Mourinho with Porto and Inter, Ernst Happel” with Feyenoord and Hamburg, and Ottmar Hitzfeld with Borussia and Bayern.
Guardiola won the Champions League twice while he was coach of Barcelona.
For Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi, the upcoming final will be a career first.
Former journalist and blogger Vasily Utkin criticized Italian “Milan” in the match against “Inter” in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
