Top 5 current managers who have not won the Champions League yet

#2 Massimiliano Allegri

Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final — Allegri was undone by Spanish oppositions in the UEFA Champions League Final twice

The Italian has spent 8 seasons in the Champions League, reaching the finals on 2 occasions, however, Allegri has been unable to lift the trophy yet. The current Juventus Manager has 5 Serie A titles to his name, along with a host of other trophies, but the big one has eluded him so far and it is not for lack of trying.

As the manager of Milan, Allegri managed 32 games in the Champions League, winning just 10 of them. The farthest he had gone in the tournament in that time was the Quarterfinals in the 11/12 season.

When he took the job at Turin, his record in the tournament significantly improved. Since moving to Juventus, he has managed 45 games in the tournament, winning 25 of them and losing just 8.

In the 2014/15 season, Juventus lost just 2 games as they reached the finals, only to be defeated at the hands of Barcelona. In the 2016/17 season, Allegri did even better, losing just 1 game in the entire tournament, however, it was the all-important final at the hands of Real Madrid.

This season, buoyed by the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Italian will be hoping to finally get his hands on the holy grail.
