Fergie, Sarri, Maradona, Di Canio: Football's most passionate managers - in pictures


  • English
  • Arabic

Football managers are renowned for their tantrums and outbursts on the touchlines and sometimes after the match.

There is little hope of getting a squad of players to do what they want without being able to get their point across with some forceful explanation.

New UAE Jorge Luis Pinto says he "might be the most passionate coach in the world" about reaching the next World Cup.

That's some claim from the 67-year-old Colombian after he arrived last week.

He certainly has some competition. The UAE will soon see how he shapes up to the managers in the gallery above. To see the next extrovert manager, simply swipe or click on the arrows.
