This is a list of Asian Club Championship and AFC Champions League winning managers. Israeli Yosef Merimovich won the first two finals of the competition with Hapoel Tel Aviv and its rival Maccabi Tel Aviv when it was known as the Asian Champion Club Tournament. The competition became the Asian Club Championship upon its resurrection in 1985 and rebranded the AFC Champions League in 2002 after a merge between the Asian Club Championship and the Asian Cup Winners' Cup. The latest iteration of the competition is run in a single year from 2004 to 2021 (de jure 2022) before returning to double year from the 2023–24 season.
