This allowed the Romanian specialist to overtake the famous French "coach" Arsene Wenger in this indicator and take second place in the rating of coaches in terms of the number of matches played in European competitions.

The legendary Scotsman Alex Ferguson, who has 269 European Cup matches, is in the lead among the “Guards” coaches. And the current head coach of Real Madrid, Italian Carlo Ancelotti, closes the top three in the rating: he played 230 matches in European competitions.
