Reporter Han Bing reported on the era of globalization in the 21st century, and it is not difficult to win the championship across borders, but it is not difficult to win the championship across continents. For Ancelotti, who has won five major league titles and three Champions League titles, perhaps winning across continents should be his next challenge. The legendary coach of European football after World War II, Gutman, was a famous cross-continent championship-winning coach, but did not have the opportunity to prove his strength in the other major leagues of the TOP5.
In recent years, the coach who can win the championship across continents is also very rare, and the Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus won three Portuguese Premier League titles in Benfica, went south to Brazil with the regret of two Europa League runners-up, and swept Brazilian and South American football in 2019 and 2020, winning the Brazilian First Division, the Copa Libertadores (2019), the Brazilian Super Cup, the South American Super Cup and the Rio State League (2020). Before him, Santana, known as Brazil's "art football" master, also won the Baliga, the Saudi League, and the Copa Libertadores and Intercontinental Cups.
In contrast, coaches who cross continents to Asia are slightly inferior. Lippi won 5 Serie A titles and 1 Champions League at Juventus, and 3 Chinese Super League titles and 1 AFC Champions League at Guangzhou Evergrande. Scolari was even better, winning 2 Copa Libertadores and Baliga titles in Brazil, 3 Chinese Super League titles and 1 AFC Champions League at Guangzhou Evergrande, and Uzbekistan's league title in 2009. In addition to the hercules cup in the national team, he also has 1 more Confederations Cup and 1 Gulf Cup.
Brazilian coach Oliveira has won the First Division, the inaugural Club World Cup and the J-League, and is a legend in the history of Corinthians and Kashima Antlers. The 1994 World Cup champion Pereira was even more prominent, winning the First Division and the Turkish Super League, as well as two Asian Cups, and one each of the Copa America and the Confederations Cup. Among the Brazilian coaches who panned for gold overseas, Pereira was definitely the most accomplished, surpassing Santana and Scolari.
In contrast, Argentine coaches travel to Europe, which is rare after Herrera. The most tragic was Cooper, who finished eight runners-up in all competitions, from Argentina to La Liga to Serie A, Greece and Africa. Simeone, who was probably the most successful winner of the First Division, personally created atletico's 10-year golden age, winning 8 trophies and reaching the Champions League final twice for the Rosso. Chilean engineer Pellegrini is not bad, with Argentine and Ecuadorian league titles in South America, coaching Real Madrid in Europe, eventually leading Manchester City to the Premier League, and just won the Spanish Copa del Rey for Betis.
Pereira, who led Shanghai SIPG to victory in 2018, led Porto and Olympiacos to win the Portuguese Premier League and Greek Super League respectively. In 2020, Ola Royu, who led Jiangsu Suning to win the championship, also won the league championship in Romania, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and China, and the Belgian coach Goretz, who won the championship in 5 countries in Europe and Asia, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but obviously the gold content is inferior.
