Marco van Basten | Arrigo Sacchi | 1987–1991 | The relationship between the two reportedly deteriorated during the 1990–91 season, when Van Basten complained about Sacchi's behaviour to AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi; Sacchi consequently requested that Van Basten be sold and did later not renew his contract with the club, eventually leaving in 1991 to become manager of the Italy national football team. | [88][89][90] |
Gianluca Vialli | 1992–1996 | It is rumoured that Vialli played a prank on Sacchi, which led to the manager dropping him from the Italy national football team, resulting in the striker being left out of Italy's squads for the 1994 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1996. | [91][92][93][94] | |
Roberto Baggio | 1994–1997 | Baggio believed that the two fell out after he missed the decisive spot kick in Italy's penalty shoot-out defeat to Brazil in the 1994 FIFA World Cup final; there had already been tension between the two, however, when Sacchi substitued Baggio in the first round of the tournament against Norway, following Gianluca Pagliuca's sending off, leading Baggio to describe the manager as "crazy." Tensions between rose them rose further during Italy's qualifying campaign for UEFA Euro 1996, with Baggio asking for the manager's dismissal following a defeat to Croatia, and Baggio was later left out of the squad for the final tournament, with Sacchi citing fitness issues as the reason for his exclusion. Baggio later also experienced limited playing time when Sacchi was appointed as AC Milan's manager during the course of the 1996–97 season. | [95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102] | |

Roberto Baggio | Marcello Lippi | 1999–2000 | In his 2001 autobiography Una Porta nel Cielo, Baggio accused Lippi of leaving him out of the Inter Milan first-team squad during the 1999–2000 season after Baggio had refused a request from Lippi, who allegedly asked him to report to him which Inter players who had expressed negative opinions about the manager. | [107] |
Christian Panucci | 1999–2006 | The pair argued during their time together at Inter Milan, culminating in Panucci insulting the manager; as a result of the row, Panucci believed that Lippi later left him out of Italy's 2006 FIFA World Cup-winning squad. | [108] | |
Antonio Cassano | 2004–2010 | Lippi left Cassano out of the Italy national football team, including Italy's 2010 FIFA World Cup squad, due to his lack of discipline. | [109][110] | |

Fabio Capello | 2006–2007 | Capello was critical of Ronaldo's weight and fitness during their time together at Real Madrid and left him out of the first-team squad, culminating in Ronaldo's departure from the club. | [113] | |
Dejan Savićević | 1992–1998 | Capello and Savićević often clashed during their time together at AC Milan due to their strong characters, and as Capello often criticised the playmaker for his lack of discipline in training, his inconsistency, and his poor defensive work-rate on the pitch, while the club's president, Silvio Berlusconi, instead admired the player for his skill. | [114] | |
Roberto Baggio | 1995–1997 | Capello and Baggio often clashed during their time together at AC Milan, as Capello often substituted Baggio throughout the 1995–96 season, believing that he was not fit enough to play a full match. Upon his return to the club in 1997, he left Baggio out of the squad, resulting in the latter's departure from the club. | [95][115] | |

Zlatan Ibrahimović | Pep Guardiola | 2009–present | Ibrahimović controversies | [123] |
Samuel Eto'o | 2008–2019 | In 2014, Eto'o crticised Guardiola for his lack of "respect" towards him during their time together at Barcelona during the 2008–09 treble–winning season, adding that his manager barely spoke to him and "never had the courage to say things to [his] face." Although Eto'o had a prolific and successful season, he had several disagreements with his manager: Eto'o – along with Ronalidnho and Deco – was initially not part of Guardiola's plans, and was encouraged to acccept a transfer offer from another club, but was ultimately allowed to remain with the team. The pair also clashed over Eto'os role within the team in comparison to Lionel Messi's, with the striker demanding an apology from his coach, stating: "I said to Guardiola [that] you'll have to apologise to me because it's me that will make Barcelona win, not Messi." Eto'o also accused Guardiola of lying to the press, and was critical of the manager's player–management skills given his lack of coaching experience at professional level. He also reportedly did not approve of Guardiola's suggestions regarding his playing style as a striker, telling him that he was "not normal." In the summer of 2009, Eto'o was informed by his lawyer that he had been transfer listed by Barcelona; he eventually left the club in an exchange deal with Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimović, going on to win another treble with the Italian club the following season. Upon his retiement in 2019, when asked about the best coach of his career, Eto'o stated: "I love [Guardiola] as a coach, but not as a person," also admitting that his former manager had apologised to him, however. In 2022, Eto'o also contrasted Guardiola's style with that of his subsequent manager at Inter, José Mourinho, whom he praised for being "upfront." | [124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132] | |
Yaya Touré | 2008–present | Touré began to be left out of the starting midfield in favour of Barcelona youth product Sergio Busquets, and was increasingly deployed in defence by Guardiola during the 2008–09 season. His playing time was more limted the following season, leading to his departure to Manchester City in 2010. Touré commented that after receiving an offer from the English club, his manager no longer spoke to him, which cemented his decision to leave Barcelona. Upon Guardiola's appointment as Manchester City's manager for the 2016–17 season, Touré further clashed with the coach when he began to be left out of the first team, accusing him of favouring players who were deferential towards him, and of being jealous of Touré and of wanting revenge against him. He also criticised him for being too rigid, which made it difficult for the two of them to reconcile following arguments. Tensions between the two culminated following Touré's departure from the club in 2018, when the midfielder accused Guardiola of having problems with African players in an interview with France Football; Guardiola denied any allegations of racism however, and Touré later stated in a 2021 interview with The Athletic that he regretted his comments and had made a mistake, and retracted this statement, even sending a letter of apology to Guardiola, but had not yet received a response. | [133][134][135][136][137] | |

Iker Casillas | José Mourinho | 2010–2013 | Their relationship declined when Mourinho dropped Casillas as the Real Madrid's starting goalkeeper for Diego López during the 2012–13 season, following the former's hand injury; as a result they no longer spoke to one another. Mourinho was also critical of Casillas's limitations with the ball at his feet, and accused him of being a snitch, which resulted in divisions among the club's fans, players, and staff. Casillas belived that Mourinho disapporoved of him going to speak with Carles Puyol, the captain of the club's rivals, Barcelona, in order to ease tensions between the players in the Spanish national team. Real Madrid later accused Mourinho of showing a lack of respect towards Casillas, and the manager left the club at the end of the season. | [139][140][141][142][143][144] |
Mario Balotelli | 2008–2010 | The two frequntly clashed during their time at Inter Milan. Balotelli revealed that Mourinho once kicked him off the team bus on the way to the airport for a match in Catania over an argument between the two of them. | [145] | |
Marcello Lippi | 2008–2010 | Despite calls from pundits and fans for Balotelli's inclusion in Italy's 2010 FIFA World Cup squad, the manager at the time, Lippi, did not call him up, believing that he was not yet ready to play for Italy and that he needed to mature. | [110] | |
