In second place is Arsène Wenger, who managed Arsenal from 1996 to 2018. Under his leadership, the "Gunners" lost to Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final.
The third place is held by Valeriy Lobanovskyi, who passed away in 2002. Following positions include famous coaches such as Bobby Robson, Massimiliano Allegri, Mauricio Pochettino, Mircea Lucescu, Kenny Dalglish, Otto Rehhagel, Didier Deschamps, Unai Emery, and Antonio Conte.
