4 famous touchline bust-ups involving Jose Mourinho

#1 Marco Ianni

Mourinho's furious reaction to Ianni's celebration in front of the United bench

Perhaps until Saturday, not many people knew who Marco Ianni was. However, thanks to Jose Mourinho, the Chelsea assistant coach is now one of the most-talked-about personalities in the Premier League. Ianni's celebration during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Man United drew the fury of the Red Devils boss.

After Ross Barkley had smashed in a last-minute equaliser, the Chelsea assistant manager ran across the United bench to celebrate, before speeding off into the dressing room. His actions were predictably not overlooked by Mourinho who nearly chased Iaani into the tunnel.

The Portuguese reacted angrily to Iaani’s ‘over the line’ celebrations, and it took the stewards' mighty efforts to restore calm. This is the latest in a series of touchline spats that Mourinho has been involved in since his managerial career began, but the 55-year-old handled things well afterward.

In his post-match press-conference, he revealed that both Ianni and Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri had apologized, which he said he has duly accepted. The Mourinho of old certainly wouldn’t have let go that easily.
