#2 Curse of Bela Guttman
Former Hungarian manager Béla Guttmann joined Portugese giants Benfica in 1959 and coached the team to two Portuguese Ligas, two European Cups and one Portuguese Cup title.
Legend is that in 1962, he asked for a pay rise but the club didn’t oblige. He apparently retorted by announcing “In the next 100 years no Portuguese team will win two European titles and Benfica will never be champions of Europe again without me.”
Quite in sync with this list thus, Benfica has since appeared in five European Cup finals and three UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League finals and lost all eight matches.
