On 23 July 2026, the era of the Spanish bull dominates world football as we examine 4 Spanish coaches who secured 4 major trophies, from league titles to the World Cup. It begins with Luis de la Fuente, who recently led the "Spanish bull" — Spain's national football team — to a triumphant victory at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, securing their second title in history after their first in 2010.
Next, Luis Enrique guided "PSG" Paris Saint-Germain to win the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League in Budapest, Hungary, by defeating England's "Gunners" Arsenal 4-3 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in 120 minutes.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta led Arsenal to capture the English Premier League title in the 2025-26 season, marking their first top-flight league championship in 22 years since the unbeaten 2003-04 season under Arsène Wenger.
Meanwhile, Unai Emery led the "Villans" Aston Villa to their first-ever UEFA Europa League title in 2025-26, with a commanding 3-0 victory over Germany's Freiburg in the final at the TÜPRAS Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. This was the club's first major trophy in 30 years, since winning the League Cup in 1996. Additionally, Emery made history as the first coach to win the UEFA Europa League five times with three different clubs.
