5 FC Shakhtar Donetsk - Real Sociedad de Fútbol Wednesday 27 November 2013 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit Donbass Arena, Donetsk Head coach FC Shakhtar Donetsk: Mircea Lucescu Date of birth: 29 July 1945 Nationality: Romanian Playing career: FC Dinamo Bucureşti, FC Sportul Studenţesc Bucureşti, FC Corvinul Hunedoara Coaching career: FC Corvinul Hunedoara, Romania, FC Dinamo Bucureşti, AC Pisa 1909, Brescia Calcio, AC Reggiana 1919, FC Rapid Bucureşti (twice), FC Internazionale Milano, Galatasaray AŞ, Beşiktaş JK, FC Shakhtar Donetsk • A useful striker for Dinamo in the 1960s and 1970s, winning six league titles and 70 caps for Romania as well as playing at the 1970 FIFA World Cup, Lucescu became Corvinul player-coach in his early 30s and went on to win three Romanian championships with Dinamo. • Fluent in six foreign languages and regarded as a workaholic, he cemented his reputation at Pisa, Brescia and Reggiana before returning home for the first of two spells as Rapid coach, winning the league in 1998 and 2000. • Returned to Serie A for a short spell at Inter in 1998/99 before a one-season return to Rapid. After joining Galatasaray in 2000 he lifted the UEFA Super Cup in his first game as coach and took them to the Turkish title in 2001/02 – a feat he repeated with Beşiktaş in 2002/03, their centenary season. • Left Beşiktaş in 2004 and promptly joined Shakhtar, leading the Donetsk club to titles in 2005, 2006 and 2008, when his side also won the Ukrainian Cup. • In May 2009, Lucescu's Shakhtar became the first Ukrainian club to win the UEFA Cup. He suffered a heart attack that summer but swiftly returned to work, guiding the club to another league title at the end of the season and winning the domestic double in 2010/11, when Shakhtar also reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Sociedad de Fútbol: Jagoba Arrasate Date of birth: 22 April 1978 Nationality: Spanish Playing career: SD Eibar B, SD Lemona, SD Beasain, CD Elgoibar, Club Portugalete, SD Amorebieta Coaching career: Berriatuko FT, CD Elgoibar, Real Sociedad de Fútbol (academy and assistant coach)

• A former striker, Arrasate enjoyed a modest playing career which began in Real Sociedad's youth academy.

• Having failed to progress to the Txuri-urdin's senior side, Arrasate moved to Eibar and spent four seasons with their B team, where he won promotion to the Spanish third tier. Spells at lower-league outfits Lemona, Beasain and Elgoibar followed before he hung up his boots in 2007, shortly before his 30th birthday.

• Arrasate started coaching at regional Basque club Berriatuko before a switch to Spanish fourth tier side Elgoibar. Here his reputation soared as he took them to the brink of promotion on two occasions.

• Rejoined La Real in 2010 and began looking after the club's youth teams before advancing to Philippe Montanier's senior coaching staff. He helped the San Sebastian outfit finish fourth in the 2012/13 Liga, ensuring qualification for the UEFA Champions League play-offs.

• Montanier's subsequent rejection of a new contract led to the appointment of Arrasate. One of the 35-year-old's first acts was to guide his new charges into the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in a decade – thanks to a comfortable aggregate victory over Olympique Lyonnais.
