The Champions League returns on Tuesday evening, with Manchester City among the teams in action.

Pep Guardiola's side will face Olympiacos at the Etihad Stadium having won each of their opening two Champions League group games.

The Spaniard is arguably the greatest manager ever and he'll be looking to win his third Champions League title.

But how does his playing career match up with the other 31 managers in the Champions League group stage?

That's a question we answered last year. 

And we've decided to do it again for the 2020/21 season. We've ranked every Champions League group stage manager by their playing careers from worst to best below.

27. Thomas Tuchel | Paris Saint-Germain

Tuchel's best spell as a professional footballer came at German third-tier side, SSV Ulm.

26. Luís Castro | Shakhtar

Castro spent much of his career in Portugal's lower leagues, but did play for Vitória S.C. and Elvas in the Primeira Liga.

With the latter, Castro played 28 times in the 1987/88 season as his side were relegated from Portugal's top tier.

He helped them reach promotion to the Bundesliga in his first year at the club. He made 150 appearances in the league across across an eight-year spell.

23. Jurgen Klopp | Liverpool

Klopp confesses he wasn't very good at all, but we think he's been a little harsh on himself.

He spent the large majority of his playing days in the German second tier with Mainz 05, where he played for 11 years.

He retired as their record goal scorer, notching 56 times in total.

22. Gian Piero Gasperini | Atalanta

Gasperini started his career at Juventus but he never made the grade.

He spent the early parts of his career in Italy's lower leagues, playing five seasons for Palermo in Serie B from 1978-1983.

The Italian midfielder finally got the chance to play in the Serie A with Pescara after helping them win promotion in 1987.

He made 469 appearances in his career, scoring just once.

He also played for Club Brugge, Genk and AaB. He earned 24 caps for Denmark.

17. Pedro Martins | Olympiacos

Martins started his career at Feirense, before moving on to Vitória S.C. and then Sporting Lisbon.

The fact he made one appearance for Portugal means he must have been a decent player.

16. Julen Lopetegui | Sevilla

Lopetegui, a goalkeeper, is one of a few players that can claim to have played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

He wasn't successful at either club, though. The Spaniard spent most of his career in La Liga with Rayo.

He managed one appearance for Spain, coming in 1994.

8. Antonio Conte | Inter Milan

Conte signed for Juventus from Leece for €3.60m in 1996 and he would justify that price tag in a highly successful spell.

He made 20 appearances for Italy.

7. Diego Simeone | Atletico Madrid

Known for his ability to score after coming off the bench, the Norwegian scored 126 times in 366 games for United.

Unfortunately, knee injuries curtailed his career and stopped him from achieving even more.

5. Pep Guardiola | Man City

Guardiola was a very classy player. He spent 11 years at Barcelona, where he won six La Liga titles and a European Cup.

He also made 47 appearances for Spain and was named in the Euro 2000 Team of the Tournament.

4. Ronald Koeman | Barcelona

Koeman scored a ridiculous 253 goals during his career, despite being a defensive minded player.

He enjoyed great success in Holland with Ajax and PSV and Spain with Barcelona.

He won two European Cups - one each with PSV and Barcelona - as well as eight league titles across his career.

The Dutchman was also named in the Team of the Tournament as he helped his country win Euro 1988.

3. Andrea Pirlo | Juventus

Pirlo could do things with a football that people can only dream of. He was the definition of cool: he possessed incredible technical ability and it was almost impossible to get the ball off him.

He was extremely successful during his time at AC Milan and Juventus. He won six Serie A titles in his career and two Champions League's.

The elegant midfielder also won the World Cup with Italy in 2006.

The Englishman won three Premier League titles and a Champions League with the Blues.

1. Real Madrid | Zinedine Zidane

Pirlo, Koeman and Lampard were all brilliant. But Zidane was in a league of his own.
