Pictures: UEFA Semi-Final Managers - When they were Players

A picture list of the eight remaining managers in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League when they were players.


CHAMPIONS LEAGUE


Claude Puel - Olympique Lyonnais
Player Pic: AS Monaco, 1980




Louis van Gaal - Bayern Munich
Player Pic: Not sure....AZ Alkmaar maybe




Pep Guardiola - Barcelona
Player Pic: Barcelona (1990-2001)




Jose Mourinho - Inter Milan
Player Pic: União Futebol Comércio Indústria de Setúbal, 1987, Bottom Right



EUROPA LEAGUE


Sammy Lee - Liverpool (Assistant Manager)
Player Pic: Liverpool (1976-1986)

I spent way too much time looking for pics of Rafa Benitez as a player and came up empty handed so I used Liverpool Assistant Manager Sammy Lee for The Reds. (In the late 70's, Rafa made over 200 appearances for Real Madrid's B team, Castilla CF, but apparently no cameras were present)






Quique Sánchez Flores - Atlético Madrid
Player Pic: Real Madrid (1994-1996)





Roy Hodgson - Fulham
Player Pic: Maidstone United, 1971 - Top Row, 5th from Left





Bruno Labbadia - Hamburg SV
