Head coachGeorgi DermendzhievDate of birth: 4 January 1955Nationality: BulgarianPlaying career: PFC Slavia Sofia, PFC Yantra Gabrovo, PFC Spartak PlovdivCoaching career: PFC Spartak Plovdiv, OFC Sliven 2000, PFC Ludogorets Razgrad

• As a defender, Dermendzhiev won the Bulgarian Cup with Slavia Sofia in 1980. While with the Whites, he lined upalongside some of the country's greatest players such as Andrey Zhelyzkov and Chavdar Tsvetkov.

• Gained his first coaching experience in 1995/96 with Spartak Plovdiv, but could not keep the club in the top flight.Between 1999 and 2008, Dermendzhiev was assistant coach at PFC Litex Lovech, working under Ljupko Petrović,who led FK Crvena zvezda to victory in the 1991 European Champion Clubs' Cup final.

• Of Petrović, Dermendzhiev once said: "I have worked under many coaches, but Petrović was the most impressive.He is unique, his work methodical. He knows what he wants and how to do it."

• Took charge of Sliven for 2008/09, guiding the club to a 12th-place A PFG finish. Dermendzhiev arrived atLudogorets in 2011, serving as assistant coach and then youth academy director before succeeding Stoicho Stoev on1 August 2014.

• Dermendzhiev had been in charge for just 51 top-flight matches throughout his career prior to taking the top job atLudogorets, who qualified for the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time after a remarkable penaltyshoot-out victory against FC Steaua Bucureşti in the 2014/15 play-offs. Stepped down in May 2015 having won theleague but returned that November, adding another domestic championship in 2015/16 and engineering a return tothe UEFA Champions League group stage at the start of the following campaign.

Arsène WengerDate of birth: 22 October 1949Nationality: FrenchPlaying career: AS Mutzig, FC Mulhouse, AS Vauban, RC StrasbourgCoaching career: RC Strasbourg (assistant coach), AS Cannes (assistant coach), AS Nancy-Lorraine, AS MonacoFC, Nagoya Grampus Eight, Arsenal FC

• Not the most successful of players, Arsène Wenger has more than made up for that as a coach, turning Arsenal intoone of Europe's top teams.

• Born in Strasbourg, Wenger worked at Strasbourg and Cannes before Nancy-Lorraine offered him his big break. Heimpressed sufficiently to be offered the job as coach of Monaco in 1987.

• Within a year Monaco scooped the French title and Wenger the Coach of the Year award. He led the side to 1991French Cup glory, then the 1992 European Cup Winners' Cup final where they lost to SV Werder Bremen. Afterreportedly turning down France and FC Bayern München, he moved on to Japan and enjoyed huge success withGrampus Eight.

• Appointed by Arsenal in September 1996, Wenger became the first non-Briton to win the Premier League, in 1998,adding the first of six FA Cup triumphs. The Gunners lost the 2000 UEFA Cup final to Galatasaray AŞ but claimedanother domestic double in 2002, and in 2003/04 played some thrilling attacking football en route to becoming the firstteam since 1889 to negotiate an English top-flight season unbeaten.

• Wenger nearly topped all his achievements by taking Arsenal to the 2006 UEFA Champions League final, only forFC Barcelona to come from behind to win 2-1. Arsenal's move to their new stadium later that year was instigated byWenger, who ended nine years without a trophy by guiding Arsenal to the 2014 FA Cup and retained the trophy a yearlater, the club's 12th triumph in the competition – setting a new record that was equalled by Manchester United FC 12months later.
