From 1973 to 1999, the Super Cup was contested by the winners of the European Cup/Champions League and the holders of the
UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. The latter competition was then abolished and since then, the
UEFA Cup have taken part in their place,
Galatasaray being the first UEFA Cup winners to do so in 2000. Since the
1998 competition, the final has been a single match, played at a neutral venue (formerly the
Stade Louis II in
Monaco but now alternating every year).[4] The first final held in the
principality ended in success for
Chelsea, led by Italian
Gianluca Vialli.
Italian managers have fared most successfully since the inception of the contest, winning twelve titles.
Carlo Ancelotti (with
AC Milan in 2003 and 2007 and
Real Madrid in 2014 and 2022) and
Pep Guardiola (with
Barcelona in 2009 and 2012,
Bayern Munich in 2013 and
Manchester City in 2023) are the only managers to have won the trophy on four occasions. Guardiola is also the only manager to win the trophy with three different clubs.[5]
