We often see arguments and fights on the pitch involving opposition players but what seems all too common in the beautiful game are managerial disagreements with the fierce action on the pitch regularly spilling onto the sidelines.
The recent Manchester United v Arsenal tie brought out the usual animosity between the two managers before the game although Ferguson was more reserved after his team handed out the brutal stuffing.

Inevitably some managers feature heavily as we take a look at some of the more acrimonious clashes between these passionate managers in recent years. Whether it is a war of words in the national media or even a good, old fashioned dug-out scrap, they all make the list.
