Back in charge at Bayern Munich, the 72-year-old became the oldest manager in the history of Europe’s top competition
Jupp Heynckes has become the oldest manager to coach a Champions League match, leading Bayern Munich to a 3-0 win against Celtic on Wednesday.
At 72 years and 162 days old, Heynckes bested the previous mark set by Raymond Goethals when the 71-year-old coached Marseille to the Champions League title in the 1992-93 campaign.
Bayern hired Heynckes earlier this month for a fourth stint in charge following the firing of Carlo Ancelotti. Heynckes had been out of management since steering the Bundesliga powerhouse to the treble in 2012-13.
