Italian Carlo Ancelotti is the most successful manager, claiming ten titles. Italian managers have won more tournaments than any other nationality, having secured 52 titles, while Spanish managers are in second place with 46 competition victories.
Although no manager has ever won all of these competitions, Giovanni Trapattoni is the only manager to have claimed the title of five different confederation tournaments. Trapattoni and German Udo Lattek are the only managers to have won at least once the three seasonal pre-1999 UEFA competitions: the European Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup. Portuguese José Mourinho is the first manager to win at least once the three current seasonal UEFA competitions: the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Cup or Europa League, and the UEFA Europa Conference League. Zinedine Zidane is the only manager to win three UEFA Champions League tournaments in a row, winning with Real Madrid in the 2015–16, 2016–17, and 2017–18 seasons.
Starting the 2021–22 football season, UEFA commenced the UEFA Europa Conference League which is a third seasonal competition organized by UEFA. For this reason, a manager can now win three main UEFA club competitions which was previously not possible since the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was last competed in 1999.
