context_page_description: This is a list of Copa Libertadores winning football managers. Uruguayan manager Roberto Scarone led Peñarol to success in the inaugural Copa Libertadores finals in 1960 and repeated the feat the following season. Argentine clubs and managers dominated the competition in the late 1960s and 1970s, winning 12 out of 15 tournaments from 1964 to 1978. In the 1990s Brazilian clubs and managers dominated the competition with six wins from 1992 to 1999, after which the second period of Argentine dominance began, with seven wins in the period from 2000 to 2009.
  As of the most recent 2019 final, Argentine managers have been the most successful, winning 27 out of 60 tournaments held, followed by Brazilians with 18 wins and Uruguayans with 10 titles. On only six occasions the tournament was won by foreign managers: Croatian coach Mirko Jozić led Chilean side Colo-Colo to victory in 1991, and Argentine Edgardo Bauza won the tournament with Ecuadorian club LDU Quito. All three wins by Paraguayan side Olimpia came under foreign managers - Uruguayan Luis Cubilla led them to victory in 1979 and 1990, and Argentine Nery Pumpido in 2002.
