#TriviaTime Guess the manager : One of the most successful managers of all time, he had a long playing career with his hometown club - based in one of Europes most iconic cities. His managerial career saw him based largely in the Low Countries, winning the league title of both of those countries, along with that of his home country and of his neighbouring country - winning league titles of so many different countries would be a record that has been matched only by three others. He also won the European Cup twice and in doing so set a record. That feat has only recently been emulated frequently by other managers, thus taking some of the sheen off it. He also managed two national teams, taking the country of the club with whom he won the first of his two European Cups to the FIFA World Cup final even though they were without their star player - they lost that match after extra time however, although they had a great chance to win it in the last minute. He was later manager of his home country. However he passed away of lung cancer a few months into the job. Four days later, his team played the erstwhile World Champions in a 0-0 draw, with his cap laying on the bench the entire time. His citys biggest stadium was renamed after him and it played host to a recent European Championship final (theres the giveaway). This is a pretty long question, my apologies. But I think the amount of clues are required. Answer away!
