Jose Mourinho and Tito Vilanova

He's won it all, and yet he isn't the most popular manager out there. Firstly, the way his sides play at times infuriates the opposition fans and secondly, he's not a man who minces his words.

While many have sympathised with managers who have been the victim of Mourinho's outlandish tirades -- none more so than Arsene Wenger -- his worst moment on the touchline came in an El Clasico.

In the last decade or so, nothing had more TRP value than an El Clasico featuring Real Madrid under Mourinho and Barcelona under Pep Guardiola. In August 2011, the two teams took on each other in the Spanish Super Cup.

A dangerous challenge by Marcelo caused a fracas on the sideline and Mourinho was seen poking then Barcelona assistant Tito Vilanova in the eye! It was sort of a bizarre and petulant incident by a manager of Jose's reputation.
