Head coachLuis EnriqueDate of birth: 8 May 1970Nationality: SpanishPlaying career: Real Sporting de Gijón, Real Madrid CF, FC BarcelonaCoaching career: FC Barcelona B, AS Roma, RC Celta de Vigo, FC Barcelona

• Known for his versatility, Luis Enrique spent the bulk of his playing career with Spain's two most successful clubshaving started out at hometown side Sporting Gijón.

• Won the Liga and Copa del Rey with Madrid and Barcelona − whom he surprisingly joined on a free transfer from theMerengues in 1996 − and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup at the Camp Nou, where he playedunder, among others, Sir Bobby Robson, Louis van Gaal and Frank Rijkaard.

• A scorer of 12 goals in 57 appearances for Spain and an Olympic gold medallist on home soil in 1992, Enriquemoved into coaching with Barcelona B in 2008, succeeding his former Azulgrana team-mate Josep Guardiola.

• Appointed coach of Roma in June 2011 but held the post for just one season after a disappointing campaign inwhich the capital club lost in the UEFA Europa League play-offs to ŠK Slovan Bratislava and finished outside theEuropean qualification places in Serie A.

• Resurfaced at Celta in summer 2013, leading the Galician side to a ninth-place finish in the Liga in his only season incharge. Left in May 2014 and was soon announced as Gerardo Martino's replacement at Barcelona on a two-yearcontract.

Manuel PellegriniDate of birth: 16 September 1953Nationality: ChileanPlaying career: CF Universidad de ChileCoaching career: CF Universidad de Chile, CD Palestino (three times), Chile Under-20, CD O'Higgins, CDUniversidad Católica, LDU de Quito, CA San Lorenzo de Almagro, CA River Plate, Villarreal CF, Real Madrid CF,Málaga CF, Manchester City FC

• The former centre-back began his coaching career in 1988 with the sole club of his playing days, Universidad deChile, before spending the next 16 years working with sides in Chile, Ecuador and Argentina.

• Took over at Villarreal in 2004, guiding them to third place in the Liga in his debut season and securing a place in theUEFA Champions League for the first time. His side also reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.

• The following campaign, Villarreal defied expectations by reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, losing1-0 on aggregate to Arsenal FC. Guided team to second place in the 2007/08 Liga, a club record, and the UEFAChampions League quarter-finals the following season, again knocked out by Arsenal.

• Joined Real Madrid on 2 June 2009, the Merengues winning a then club record 96 points in the Liga but still finishingsecond behind FC Barcelona, prompting Pellegrini's dismissal in May 2010. That November he succeeded JesualdoFerreira as coach of Málaga and in the following campaign oversaw a fourth-placed league finish, the club's best ever.

• In an echo of his feats with Villarreal, he then took the Andalusian team through UEFA Champions League qualifyingand all the way to the quarter-finals. In summer 2013, joined Manchester City on a three-year deal and won his firstEuropean silverware in his debut season with the Premier League and League Cup.
