As the coaches of the 16 qualifiers for the Champions League last 16 prepare to watch Monday's draw, they might ask: what price success.

PARIS: As the coaches of the 16 qualifiers for the Champions League last 16 prepare to watch Monday's draw, they might ask: What price success.

Sylvinho led Lyon to a 2-0 victory at Leipzig on the second matchday, but when he lost at home to derby rivals Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 four days later, the club said"au revoir". Even a favourable draw might not be enough for coaches whose seats are growing warm. And good results may only encourage moves by those whose feet are growing itchy.

The two Madrid clubs, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and last year's runners up Tottenham, now under"serial winner" Jose Mourinho, lurk in the second pot."We are one of the strongest teams from the second group," Mourinho said."I think the teams that finished first will wish they don't play against us."
