Spalletti becomes first Roma coach to reach 50 European games in charge

Spalletti's side ensured it was a successful evening for the tactician, as they ran out 4-2 winners at the Ernst Happel Stadion to leave them one win away from the knockout stages of the competition.

Spalletti surpassed Fabio Capello as the club's most experienced European coach earlier in this season's group stage, in what is his second spell at the helm of the Giallorossi.

Here is the list of the Roma coaches with the most European appearances:

1. Luciano Spalletti - 49
2. Fabio Capello - 48
3. Nils Liedholm - 35
4. Alfredo Foni - 19
5. Oscar Bianchi - 18

Spalletti's predecessor Rudi Garcia managed the club in 16 European games, while Claudio Ranieri took charge of 15 during his spell with the club.
