The 47-year-old from Salzburg celebrated a 5-4 win over Glasgow Rangers on penalties with Eintracht Frankfurt in the final of the Europa League in Seville on Wednesday evening, marking the greatest success of his career in his first year at his new club coaching career.
Guttmann, who was naturalized in 1956 and was born in Hungary, triumphed in 1961 (3-2 against FC Barcelona) and 1962 (5-3 against Real Madrid) with Benfica in the championship cup. Happel was also successful in the previous Champions League competition. In addition to Feyenoord Rotterdam (1970/2-1 aet against Celtic Glasgow) also with Hamburger SV (1983/1-0 against Juventus Turin). That was also the last final of an Austrian coach with a foreign club until Wednesday.
Martin Hinteregger and Stefan Ilsanker, who are under contract with Frankfurt, also celebrated with Glasner. However, like many ÖFB colleagues in the past, they had to watch the decisive final. In the case of Hinteregger, this was due to injury due to his thigh injury, Ilsanker had not been nominated for the European Cup spring. Heinz Schilcher (1972 and 1973/Champions Cup with Ajax), Johann Ettmayr (1977/Cup of Cup Winners with HSV), Andreas Herzog (1996/UEFA Cup with FC Bayern), Wolfgang Feiersinger (1997/Champions League with Borussia Dortmund) and Marko Arnautovic (2010/Champions League with Inter Milan) for various reasons.
On the other hand, Franz Hasil (1970/Champions Cup with Feyenoord Rotterdam 2:1 aet against Celtic Glasgow), Hans Krankl (1979/Cup of Cup Winners with FC Barcelona 4:3 aet against Fortuna Düsseldorf) had played in the final and then also celebrated the cup win. Bruno Pezzey (1980/UEFA Cup with Eintracht Frankfurt 2-3 away and 1-0 home against Borussia Mönchengladbach) and David Alaba (2013/Champions League with FC Bayern 2-1 against Dortmund and also 2020 1-0 against Paris St .Germain).
Alaba has the opportunity to complete his personal “triple” with Real Madrid against Liverpool on May 28th in Paris. Gernot Trauner has already faced AS Roma in the Conference League final with Feyenoord Rotterdam on May 25 in Tirana.
