Friday 08-05-2026
Spanish football is experiencing a golden era in coaching this season, with four Spanish coaches successfully leading their teams to the finals of the three European competitions. They are:

Luis Enrique (Paris Saint-Germain)

"Lucho" succeeded in leading Paris Saint-Germain to the UEFA Champions League final for the second consecutive time, after overcoming Bayern Munich in the semifinals.

Enrique seeks to achieve a second consecutive title with the Parisian club and affirm his dominance as one of the best elite coaches.

2. Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)

Arteta made history with Arsenal by reaching the Champions League final to face his compatriot Luis Enrique. This is the "Gunners'" first final in this competition since 2006, ensuring that a Spanish coach will be crowned the Champions League winner this year.

3. Unai Emery (Aston Villa)

The "Europa League King" continues to make history, having led Aston Villa to the Europa League final after eliminating Nottingham Forest.

Emery will play his sixth final in this tournament (a record), where he will face the German team Freiburg in Istanbul.

4. Íñigo Pérez (Rayo Vallecano)

The biggest surprise and historical glory belonged to Rayo Vallecano under the leadership of their young coach Iñigo Pérez (who succeeded Andoni Iraola).

"Rayo" succeeded in reaching the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League, marking the first time in the club's 102-year history. They will face the English team Crystal Palace in the final.
