Today in Wroclaw, the Conference League final between Betis and Chelsea is underway, and it has already produced a fascinating record.

Details: Betis head coach Manuel Pellegrini has become the oldest manager ever to take charge of a European club final.

At the moment of kick-off against Chelsea, the Chilean coach was 71 years and 254 days old.

Pellegrini broke the previous record set by Raymond Goethals, who was 71 years and 231 days old when he led Marseille to victory in the 1992/93 Champions League final.

It's worth noting that this is Betis's first ever European final in the club's history.

Reminder: Betis and Chelsea fans clashed the day before the match.
