When coaches attack: the 15 best managerial touchline tantrums

4) Arsene Wenger

More of the frustrated sort than an out and out bawler, Arsene Wenger has nonetheless had some moments where mask of elegance has slipped. Our favourite moment of Wenger anger came in this North London derby with Tottenham. Down 3-2, Wenger continued his crusade on waterbottles (started with that kick at Old Trafford), throwing his to the floor, before realising that he probably looked a bit of a berk left holding just the lid and bouncing that for good measure. Water everywhere and a shake of the head from Pat Rice.

5) Paulo Di Canio Fights With His Own Player

It didn’t take long. Less than two months into his spell in charge of Swindon Town and Paulo Di Canio had his first touchline punch up. The Italian lashed out at his own man (and summer signing) Leon Clarke, before continuing the fight in the tunnel. Fortunately for Di Canio, Swindon’s pockets were deep enough to move Clarke, a man meant to be their star forward, on to another club. And to think, Sunderland thought appointing Di Canio would end peacefully.

6) Peter Reid Makes Friends With A Fourth Official

We think former Leeds boss Peter Reid may have wanted to make a sub here. Nice of him to ask politely.
