Head coachJorge JesusDate of birth: 24 July 1954Nationality: PortuguesePlaying Career: Sporting Clube de Portugal, GD Peniche, SC Olhanense, CF Os Belenenses, GD Riopele,Juventude SC, UD Leiria, Vitória FC, SC Farense, CF Estrela da Amadora, Benfica e Castelo Branco, SRAlmancilenseCoaching career: Amora FC, FC Felgueiras, CF Estrela da Amadora (twice), Vitória FC, Vitória SC, Moreirense FC,UD Leiria, CF Os Belenenses, SC Braga, SL Benfica, Sporting Clube de Portugal

• A midfielder at Sporting, Jesus enjoyed a long if low-key career with a number of smaller Portuguese sides beforemoving into coaching with fourth division Amora after hanging up his boots in 1989, leading them to a title. Then ledFelgueiras from the third division to the Liga in successive seasons, though they were relegated in his third campaignin 1995/96.

• Further Liga experience came at hometown side Estrela da Amadora, Setúbal and Guimarães, though he enduredanother relegation with Moreirense in 2004/05. In 2006/07, he guided Belenenses to fifth place and the PortugueseCup final, where despite losing to Sporting they earned a place in the UEFA Cup.

• Even better followed at Braga in 2008/09 as he guided them to UEFA Intertoto Cup success and subsequently theUEFA Cup round of 16. A fifth-place Liga finish prompted Benfica to lure him back to Lisbon in 2009 and Jesusrewarded their faith with the league title and League Cup in his debut campaign.

• After completing a hat-trick of Portuguese League Cup triumphs in 2012, Jesus's Benfica came tantalisingly close toan even bigger treble in 2013, only to finish runners-up in both the Portuguese Liga and Cup and lose the UEFAEuropa League final to Chelsea FC.

• Signed a two-year contract extension in June 2013 and led Benfica to another UEFA Europa League final thefollowing season, although they again lost, this time to Sevilla FC. That disappointment was somewhat soothed by aclean sweep of the three domestic trophies, with another league and League Cup secured in 2014/15, during whichJesus became the Benfica coach with the most victories and the most league matches. Unexpectedly left to joinSporting in June 2015, taking the club to the Liga's runners-up spot in his first season – behind Benfica – and third thefollowing year.

Takis LemonisDate of birth: 13 January 1960Nationality: GreekPlaying career: Olympiacos FC, Levadiakos FC, Ionikos FC, Panionios GSS, Ethnikos Piraeus FCCoaching career: Asteras Zografou FC, Olympiacos FC (four times), APOEL FC, Kallithea FC, Levadiakos FC,Skoda Xanthi FC, Panionios GSS, AC Omonia, Panetolikis FC, Levadiakos FC, Al-Raed FC

• Born in Athens, Lemonis joined Olympiacos as a midfielder in 1978 from local club APO Attikos; between then and1987 he won five league titles and two caps for Greece, prior to spells at Levadiakos, Panionios, Ionikos and EthnikosPiraeus.

• Studied coaching in England before taking his first job at modest Asteras Zografou in 1996; returned to Olympiacosfor the first time in 2000 as assistant coach, but was given the top job in November that year following the dismissal ofIoannis Matzourakis, winning titles in his two seasons in charge.

• After a stint in Cyprus, and spells with several other Greek clubs, Lemonis started a second spell at Olympiacos inDecember 2006, winning two more titles before moving on again in 2008.
