Exiting the Champions League at the round of 16 stage is never good for a coach’s often shaky job security at Europe’s top clubs.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have earned reputations for burning through top coaches — including Carlo Ancelotti and Thomas Tuchel at both — and head into second-leg games trailing 1-0.
Job insecurity is not unusual among the European elite and the eight coaches whose teams are in Champions League action this week have a combined service time of less than 10 years. AC Milan takes a 1-0 lead to Tottenham on Wednesday in the only game this week between teams that both retain the same coach they had last season, respectively Stefano Pioli and Antonio Conte.The two clubs that helped stop the Super League project in 2021 by refusing to join it have met in the knockout rounds of soccer’s elite club competition for the third time in four seasons.
However, Neymar will likely miss the Bayern game through injury and right-back Achraf Hakimi is implicated in a criminal investigation of alleged rape. Winning the Champions League ensures entry to next season’s competition regardless of domestic league placing. That was a route Chelsea relied on when first becoming European champion in 2012.
