Real Madrid will host Manchester City in the early hours of Wednesday morning (10), which will have special significance for Real Madrid coach Antonio Anzalotti as he will become the first coach in the tournament's history to win 200 matches (excluding out-of-conference matches) since the UEFA restructuring in 1992/93. Of course, I want to celebrate the record by winning the wave.
Anzilotti has led eight teams in the Europa League, including Parma, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Napoli and Real Madrid. Among them, they played the most Europa League matches during their tenure at AC Milan, playing 73 matches, winning two titles and helping Real Madrid to win two, making 'Fat An' the only coach in the history of the UEFA Europa League to win the title four times.
Antsarotti, who is 64 years old and will be celebrating the 200th UEFA Europa League game of his coaching career, said before the match, "I remember the first game I coached in the UEFA Europa League, when Parma and Sparta Prague reached their 200th game in Ijia, and it was really meaningful. He has managed to work on the pitch for many years, especially at my age." In December last year, Antsalotti extended his contract with Real Madrid until June 2026 and Chung has plenty of opportunities to rewrite the record books.
