'09 Champions League Round of 16 Clubs: Managers since 2000

I was thinking the other day when Manchester United took on Inter Milan, "I wonder how many managers Inter has had since Fergie took the helm at Old Trafford?" That question led to this post, which lists all the managers at this season's Champions League Round of 16 clubs since 2000.

Perhaps it's just a different mindset, but the difference between management continuity at the English clubs and many clubs on the Continent is amazing. To me, it seems like a new manager practically every season isn't the best way to succeed, but what do I know..
