Managers with most trophies in the European football
With the modernisation of football as a global game, the role played by the managers has become very important for the clubs. It is their play and strategy that the footballers carry out on the pitch. Much has been talked about the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Skills-c40539 of the players
