The long-standing feud between Arsene Wenger and Jose
Mourinho is placed to sizzle on for another season after the Arsenal coach
refused to let his opponent sit next to him at a UEFA conference.
Mourinho and Wenger were just two of the big names who
attended UEFA's coaching conference in France on deadline day.
And the altercation came right at the start of the meeting
where the latest act of petulance between the pair is alleged to have taken
place...
Before Sir Alex Ferguson's opening address Mourinho was
rushing into the conference room where his other managers had assembled to
listen to the legendary Scot.
As the current Manchester United boss looked for a seat he
spotted a space near Paris St-Germain boss Unai Emery and Real Madrid coach
Zinedine Zidane.
He asked if he could sit there but quick as a flash the
response came from Wenger who was sitting nearby: "It is not
possible."
The incident caused unease at the conference with those
nearest pretending they had heard nothing while others are said to have stifled
laughter.
It's just the latest in a long line of bust-ups between the
pair which started back in 2004 when Mourinho first came to England.
