José Villalonga, while in charge of Spain in 1964, became the first manager to lead a national team to European Championship victory without having had a prior professional football career. He was also the youngest manager to win the trophy, at the age of 44. Since then, Václav Ježek has also accomplished this feat as manager of Czechoslovakia in 1976. Lars Lagerbäck (with Sweden and Iceland) and Joachim Löw (with Germany) share the record for most European Championships as manager, with both appearing at four different tournaments; Löw additionally holds the records for most matches managed (21) and most matches won (12) in the competition, all coming between the 2008 and 2020 tournaments.
