List of FIFA Club World Cup winning managers

The FIFA Club World Cup is an international association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body.[1] The championship was first contested as the FIFA Club World Championship in 2000.[2] It was not held between 2001 and 2004 due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure.[3] Following a change in format which saw the FIFA Club World Championship absorb the Intercontinental Cup, it was relaunched in 2005 and took its current name the season afterwards.[4]

The current format of the tournament involves seven teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation over a period of about two weeks; the winners of that year's edition of the Asian AFC Champions League, African CAF Champions League, North American CONCACAF Champions League, South American Copa Libertadores, Oceanian OFC Champions League and European UEFA Champions League, along with the host nation's national champion, participate in a straight knock – out tournament.[1]

Pep Guardiola is the first and currently the only manager to have won the tournament with Barcelona and Bayern Munich on three occasions altogether; he led the Spanish club to success in the 2009 and 2011 finals and coached the Germans to victory in 2013; nine other managers have won the title once. Sir Alex Ferguson became the first foreign manager to win the title with a foreign club, Manchester United in 2008; Rafael Benítez and Guardiola followed suit in 2010 and 2013. Jürgen Klopp is the most recent manager to have won the FIFA Club World Cup, having won it with Liverpool in 2019.
