Carlos Bianchi, pictured playing for Vélez Sarsfield won the competition a record three times.

The Intercontinental Cup was an association football club competition contested annually from 1960 to 2004 between the winners of the European Cup and the South American Copa Libertadores.[1] The competition was endorsed by both the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and the Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CONMEBOL) and, until 1979, it was played over two legs. In 1980, the Toyota Motor Corporation assumed sponsorship of the contest, renaming it Toyota Cup and transforming it into a single-match contest, held at a neutral venue in Japan.[2] The competition was discontinued in 2004 with the introduction of the FIFA Club World Cup, which features the champion clubs from all of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) member confederations.[3]

Miguel Muñoz managed Real Madrid to the inaugural title in 1960.[4] Lula became the first manager to win successive titles leading Santos to victory in 1962 and 1963. Carlos Bianchi won three Intercontinental Cups, the most won by any manager, one with Vélez Sarsfield and two with Boca Juniors. Lula, Helenio Herrera, Arrigo Sacchi and Telê Santana are the only other managers to have won more than one Intercontinental Cup, with each winning the competition twice. Víctor Fernández won the last Intercontinental Cup in 2004, leading Porto to victory against Once Caldas.[5]

Argentine managers have won the competition the most times with eleven victories by seven different managers. Uruguayan managers are next with seven victories, followed by Brazilian and Italian coaches with six victories. Two managers won the competition as a player and a manager; Luis Cubilla won the competition in 1961 and 1971 playing for Peñarol and Club Nacional de Football respectively, before leading Club Olimpia to victory in 1979. Juan Mujica also won the competition as a player with Nacional in 1971 and then led the club to victory in 1980.[6]
