In football matches, we no longer watch only the struggle on the field, but also the physical competition of the coaches.
We have compiled the coaches whose bickering is legendary:
1- Pep Guardiola-Mourinho
Two coaches with plenty of trophies over the last 20 years spent part of this period on the opposite benches. The hottest period of this conflict was between 2010-12. When Mourinho eliminated both Barcelona with 10-man Inter at the Nou Camp, he drew the lightning. On top of that, we watched two unforgettable seasons when we took the path of arch-rival Real Madrid. Mourinho constantly targeted Barcelona and Pep at press conferences. Pep answered him from time to time. The conflict also spread to the side of the court. In the brawl in the Spanish Super Cup rematch in 2011, Mou even stuck a finger in the eye of Pep's sidekick Vilanova.
2- Ferguson–Wenger
Alex Ferguson, who managed Manchester United for 17 seasons from 1996 to 2013, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger fought fiercely. When Wenger criticized a change in the fixtures when he first came to England, Ferguson replied, "Keep his thoughts on Japanese football". After Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten streak ended in 2004, they continued to argue both at home and in the locker room corridors.
3- Conte-Mazzarri
Obviously, Antonio Conte loves these quarrels. They have a disagreement with their compatriot Mazzari, which goes back to 2010. Mazzarri, who was the head of Napoli at the time, had a verbal duel with Conte on the side of the field in the match they beat Atalanta. Later, Conte moved to Juventus and faced Mazzarri's accusation of stealing tactics. The paths of two Italians crossed in the Premier League for a while. In fact, Mazzarri, who did not realize that the microphone was on at the press conference, said in Italian, "It's gone, isn't it? "I hope we never see his face again," he said. Fortunately, they've been in separate leagues for a while.
4- Wenger - Mourinho
In 2004, just when Arsenal was making their mark on the Premier League, Mourinho stepped into England and things got messy. Two championships won by the Portuguese with the dust off his feet upset Wenger. “When fools succeed, they become even more foolish,” the French coach said. Mourinho called him a voyeur. When Mou returned to England years later, he did not hesitate to blame Wenger again and say that he saw him as a failure.
5- Luxemburgo–Scolari
The careers of the two famous Brazilian coaches have crossed several and often ended in events. In the Brazilian Cup match in 1995, Gremio eliminated Flamengo, while Luxemburgo accused Scolari of punching him. Scolari had passed it off as a scuffle. Three years later, this time Scolari was in charge of Palmeiras, and Luxemburgo, the coach of rival Corinthians, accused him of inspiring to spend time with the ball-gatherers.
