Top 5 managers with the most Champions League appearances 

Manchester United v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final
Guardiola is sixth on the all-time list

#3 Carlo Ancelotti - 154

Elche FC v Real Madrid CF - La Liga
Former Madrid manager Ancelotti

A former manager of some truly elite clubs, Ancelotti is one of the most decorated coaches in the world, let alone in European football. A three-time Champions League winner with two different clubs, the Italian also succeeded in winning the trophy as a player.

With 154 appearances to his name, Ancelotti is third on the all-time list of Champions League appearances for a manager. Currently without a job, as he was recently dismissed as Bayern manager, the Italian will be offered a lot of roles around the world, given his experience and expertise.

Widely known as the quiet one, Ancelotti is renowned for a firm but simple approach towards games. A balanced, intense and quick passing approach, coupled with rapid counter-attacks, make his teams tough to beat in continental football.

The experienced veteran won't be too long without a club, as it is only a matter of time before the Italian is back in the Champions League and increase his appearance numbers.
