He also becomes the first manager in Champions League history to make it to the final in consecutive seasons with different clubs.
Not bad! Credit where due. Hope he beats Pep in the final, like he did in that league game.
Btw saw this somewhere, about their sacking policies.
They are apparently very good at sacking their manager mid-season and then reaching a European final.
1998 Cup Winners' Cup Gullit/Vialli
2008 Champions League Mourinho/Grant
2012 Champions League AVB/Di Matteo
2013 Europa League Di Matteo/Benitez
2021 Champions League Lampard/Tuchel
2009 was very close to adding another to that list. Hiddink replaced Scolari iirc and Chelsea were literally seconds from the final against united which would have been a repeat of the 2008 final when iniesta rifled one into the top corner
