The former Real Madrid and Inter Milan coach was so proud of his awards that they were instantly hung up in his office.
 
In typically confident style, the ‘Special One’ said he was looking forward to adding to his certificate haul:“The fact that I can hang these awards in my office is nice. It’s something fun and as a kid you could never imagine that one day you would be in Guinness World Records Book. I’m now more focused on winning the next game than on what I’ve done in the last 10 or 15 years."
