Nobody ever said football management was easy.
It can be a lonely life on the touchline, with plenty of managers seemingly going insane over the years trying to get their message across – and often failing.
Sometimes the frustration gets too much, and it manifests itself in stage ways. From Arsene Wenger throwing water everywhere, to Alan Pardew’s infamous headbutt.
But Inter Milan boss Walter Mazzarri wins the award for the strangest way of dealing with touchline frustrations – after trying to eat a water bottle on the bench.
The 52-year-old, who left high-flying Napoli to join Inter in a bid to turn them around, is not having a good time of it, and when one of his players missed an easy chance this week, the pressure got too much.
Mazzarri scooped up a water bottle in front of him with his teeth before chomping down, in a bid to get rid of the anger.
The moment of madness only lasted seconds, but it was captured on Italian TV for us to all enjoy. Poor Mazzarri, the season will be over soon enough…
