List of UEFA Super Cup winning managers
This is a list of UEFA Super Cup winning football managers. The UEFA Super Cup is an annual contest played between the previous season's UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup winners.[1] The first final, played over two legs between Dutch team Ajax and Glasgow's Rangers is considered unofficial by UEFA.[2] Rangers were banned from European competition due to the behaviour of their fans but, having won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup the previous season, contested the title.[3] Ajax lifted the trophy under the guidance of Romanian manager Ştefan Kovács, winning 6–3 over the two legs.
Since the 1998 competition, the final has been a single match, played at a neutral venue, Stade Louis II in Monaco.[4] The first final held in the principality ended in success for Chelsea, led by Italian Gianluca Vialli.
Italian managers have fared most successfully since the inception of the contest, winning nine titles. Five managers have won the title on two occasions, including Arrigo Sacchi and Carlo Ancelotti who have both led A.C. Milan to success twice.
