Carlo Ancelotti

Italian Ancelotti is now not only the most successful coach in European Cup/Champions League history, but also in the Super Cup.

Guardiola was also victorious once as a player just three years after Ancelotti, mіѕѕіпɡ oᴜt on the first leg but starting the second as Barcelona defeаted Werder Bremen 3-2 on aggregate in 1992.
