The Champions League is considered the biggest dream of every head coach. But in football history, there are experts who, despite achieving great success, have not been able to win this trophy.
Idman.biz reports with reference to AZERTAC that one of them is the legendary head coach Diego Simeone. The Argentine specialist, who left his mark on the club's history with his results at Atletico Madrid, led the team to the final in 2014 and 2016. However, he lost to Real Madrid both times. Although he had memorable successes in the Spanish Championship and the Europa League, he still hasn't won the biggest trophy.
Frenchman Arsene Wenger has experienced a similar fate. The specialist, who led Arsenal for many years, won the championship and set records in England. But he could not reach his goal in Europe. His team lost to Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final.
Hector Cuper is also on this list. Although he played two consecutive finals with Valencia (2000/2001 and 2001/2002), he lost in both. These results earned him the title of "king of second places."
Unai Emery has achieved great success in the Europa League. He became the champion of the tournament three times with Sevilla and once with Villarreal. But he has never been able to lift the trophy over his head in the Champions League.
Roberto Mancini, Antonio Conte, Sven-Göran Eriksson and Fernando Santos have also won major championships during their careers, but they have not been able to repeat the same success in the Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino led Tottenham to the tournament final in 2019, but lost to Liverpool.
