Gérard Houllier holds the UEFA Cup after Liverpool's win over Alavés in Dortmund.
It was probably the highlight of his managerial career at Anfield.
Below is his Wikipedia page.
Club career:
Born in Thérouanne, Houllier entered Lille University to pursue a degree in English,
but in the first year his father's serious illness forced him to drop out of full-time studying
and start work, eventually as a school teacher, while he completed his degree part-time.
As part of his degree, he elected to spend a year in 1969–1970 in the city of Liverpool as
an assistant at Alsop Comprehensive School, and while there he attended his first Liverpool F.C.
match on 16 September 1969, a 10–0 thrashing of Irish club Dundalk. He also played for an
amateur local side, Alsop. He was an enthusiastic footballer, but never threatened the professional
ranks as a player. He was deputy headmaster of the École Normale d'Arras until reaching
age 26 in 1973, when he began his full-time managerial career as player-manager of Le Touquet.
Teams managed:
1973–1976 Le Touquet
1976–1982 Nœux-les-Mines
1982–1985 Lens
1985–1988 Paris Saint-Germain
1988–1992 France (assistant manager)
1992–1993 France

Houllier died on 14th. December 2020, after suffering from heart problems for many years.
