Carlo Ancelotti has matched Alex Ferguson as the coach to have taken charge of the most fixtures in the history of the European Cup (214). The Italians games have come at eight different clubs: Parma (8), Juventus (10), Milan (77), Chelsea (18), PSG (10), Bayern Munich (12), Napoli (12) and Real Madrid (67).

Ancelotti is also the coach with the most victories ever in the European Cup, at 123. The Italian enjoys a special relationship with the competition, and is also the only manager to boast five trophies. Having won it twice in the Milan dugout, he lifted La Décima in his first season at the madridista helm (2014). He repeated his success on his return to our club with La Decimocuarta in 2022, before being crowned champions yet again last term, clinching La Decimoquinta.
