• Helmut Schön is the only coach to have been in charge for two EURO finals; his West Germany side followed up their 1972 success with a defeat on penalties to Czechoslovakia in the 1976 edition.

• An (unused) member of Schön's 1972 Germany squad, Berti Vogts became the only person to have won the EURO as a player and a coach when he led Germany to the title in 1996.

• Otto Rehhagel is the only coach to have won a EURO with a foreign team; the German coach steered Greece to glory in the 2004 finals in Portugal.

• At 69 years and 336 days old on the day of Spain's EURO 2008 final success over Germany, Luis Aragonés is the oldest coach to have won a EURO.

• The youngest coach to have won a EURO is Spain's José Villalonga, who was 44 years and 192 days 'young' on the day of Spain's 1964 final win against the USSR. At 43 years and 215 days old, the losing coach in that match – Konstantin Beskov – remains the youngest technician to feature in a EURO final.
